Finding area using double integral?
Hi.
How do I go about finding the area of a a half circle from x = -1 to x = 1
and y = 0 to y = 1. This half circle is in quadrants 1 and 2.
How is this done using double integral?
Please show steps.
Thank you.
Use polar coordinates.

range of radius: r = [0,1]
range of angle: t = [0, pi]
here t stands for angle theta.
The area of a small element is dr * r dt. If you don't see why, draw an element whose coordinate (r, t) satisfying r0<r<r0+dr, t0<t<t0+dt, where r0 and t0 are two arbitrary number in the semi-circle. You can see that dr and r*dt are two sides of this element and so its area is dr * rdt.
You integral this small area to get the whole area:
int[t from 0 to pi] int [r from 0 to 1] r dr dt
= int[t from 0 to pi] 1/2 dt
= pi / 2
Hope this helps :)

gazing the graph of those 2 polar purposes, you opt to discover the section of the left 0.5 of the circle and subtract the section of the cardioid that is risk-free. The integrals will the two have an era of ?/2 to 3?/2 a million/2( ?(a million)^2*d? - ?(a million + cos?)^2*d? ) = a million.215
