    r=1 + cos(t)=1 and t= pi/2 and 3pi/2

    area of a polar curve = 1/2 the integral of R^2 -r^2

    integral of (cost+1)^2- 1) from 0 to pi/2=

    integral cost^2+2cost from 0 to pi/2

    integral (1+cos2t)/2+2cost from o to pi/2=

    1/2t + 1/4 sint + 2sint for o to pi/2=

    pi/4 +2

    NOTE : " P A " dropped the [ 2 ] in integrating cos 2t..and the domain should be [ - π /2 , π / 2 ]

    but doubling the integral over [ 0 , π /2 ] works
