    They intercept where r=r , so

    1/2= cos T

    T=+- pi/3 ( It is +- because cos A= cos -A)

    So

    dA= rdrdT

    A= INT INT rdrdT

    1/2<r<cosT

    -pi/3<T<pi/3

    A= INY (1/2)r^2 dT

    A= (1/2( (NT ( cos^2T -(1/2)^2) dT

    A= (1/2) INT cos^2T dT - (1/8) INT dT

    A= (1/2) INT ( 1+cos2T)/2 dT - (1/8) T

    A= (1/4) T +(1/8) sin2T -(1/8) T

    A= (1/8) ( T +sin 2T )

    A= ( 1/8) ( pi/3+sin 2pi/3- (-pi/3 +sin -2pi/3))

    A= (1/8) ( 2pi/3 +2 sin 2pi/3)

    A= (1/4) ( pi/3+sin2pi/3)

    sin2(pi/3) = 2sinpi/3 cos pi/3 = 2 (1/2) sqrt3 *(1/2)= (1/2) sqrt3

    A= (1/4) ( pi/3 +(1/2) sqrt3)
