How to prove that $ | Phi_u times Phi_v | = sqrt{ det g} $?
Let be $ Phi $ a parametrization of a surface $ in mathbb{R}^3 $
and $g$ the metric tensor.
As the title says...how to show that How to prove that $ | Phi_u times Phi_v | = sqrt{det g} $ ?
I started like this:
$$| Phi_u times Phi_v | = left| begin{pmatrix} frac{delta phi_1}{ delta u} \ frac{delta phi_2}{ delta u} \ frac{delta phi_2}{ delta u} end{pmatrix} times begin{pmatrix} frac{delta phi_1}{ delta v} \ frac{delta phi_2}{ delta v} \ frac{delta phi_2}{ delta v} end{pmatrix} right| = left| begin{pmatrix} frac{delta phi_2}{ delta u} frac{delta phi_3}{ delta v}- frac{delta phi_3}{ delta u} frac{delta phi_2}{ delta v}\ frac{delta phi_1}{ delta u} frac{delta phi_3}{ delta v}- frac{delta phi_3}{ delta u} frac{delta phi_1}{ delta v}\ frac{delta phi_1}{ delta u} frac{delta phi_2}{ delta v}- frac{delta phi_2}{ delta u} frac{delta phi_1}{ delta v}end{pmatrix} right|$$
I am not sure how to proceed..If I continue I am coming to a dead end..hope you can help me out a bit :) !

Recall Lagrange's identity for cross product:
$$|a times b|^2 = |a|^2|b|^2 - langle a,brangle^2, qquad a,b in mathbb{R}^3$$
Therefore
$$|Phi_u times Phi_v|^2 = |Phi_u|^2|Phi_v|^2 - langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle^2 = begin{vmatrix} |Phi_u|^2 & langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle \ langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle & |Phi_v|^2end{vmatrix} = det g$$
where $g = begin{bmatrix} langle Phi_u, Phi_urangle & langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle \ langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle & langlePhi_v, Phi_vrangleend{bmatrix}$ is the metric tensor.
Since $det g > 0$ we conclude $|Phi_u times Phi_v| = sqrt{det g}$.

Call ${bf r} = Phi(u, v)$, and recall the unitary vector along the direction $u$ is
$$
h_u hat e_u = frac{partial {bf r}}{partial u} = Phi_u
$$
with $h_u$ the scale factor. You have then
$$
|Phi_u times Phi_v| = |h_u h_v| |hat{e}_utimes hat{e}_v| = |h_u h_v| = sqrt{g}
$$

Recall Lagrange's identity for cross product:
$$|a times b|^2 = |a|^2|b|^2 - langle a,brangle^2, qquad a,b in mathbb{R}^3$$
Therefore
$$|Phi_u times Phi_v|^2 = |Phi_u|^2|Phi_v|^2 - langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle^2 = begin{vmatrix} |Phi_u|^2 & langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle \ langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle & |Phi_v|^2end{vmatrix} = det g$$
where $g = begin{bmatrix} langle Phi_u, Phi_urangle & langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle \ langle Phi_u, Phi_vrangle & langlePhi_v, Phi_vrangleend{bmatrix}$ is the metric tensor.
Since $det g > 0$ we conclude $|Phi_u times Phi_v| = sqrt{det g}$.

Call ${bf r} = Phi(u, v)$, and recall the unitary vector along the direction $u$ is
$$
h_u hat e_u = frac{partial {bf r}}{partial u} = Phi_u
$$
with $h_u$ the scale factor. You have then
