The usual trick to answering this sort of question is to simplify it, or to state that you are making certain (stated) assumptions.
In the case of corrugated sheets, you could assume that the sheets were in fact a continuous series of semi-circles. This assumption would make the machining process simpler as well! And then proceed from there.
A well known math quote is "Let's assume a spherical cow."

surface area divided by volume
To calculate the surface area of a shape find the area of each side, and then, add all of the areas together. The sum of the areas is the surface area.
The surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*radius2
The same way you calculate the surface area of any other rectangle: Multiply the length of the wall by its height.
Area = Length * Breadth.
