Question
Find the area enclosed by the circle x2 + y2 = a2
✓
Answer
The equation of circle is x2 + y2 = a2 .... (i)
Its centre is origin and radius a. We know that circle x2 + y2 = a2 is symmetrical about both axes.
$\therefore$ required area = $4 \int \limits_{0}^{2} y d x=4 \int \limits_{0}^{2} \sqrt{a^{2}-x^{2}} d x$
$=4\left[\frac{x \sqrt{a^{2}-x^{2}}}{2}+\frac{a^{2}}{2} \sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}\right]_{0}^{a}$
$=4\left[\left(0+\frac{\mathrm{a}^{2}}{2} \sin ^{-1} 1\right)-\left(0+\frac{\mathrm{a}^{2}}{2} \sin ^{-1} 0\right)\right]$
$=4\left[\left(0+\frac{a^{2}}{2} \sin ^{-1} 1\right)-\left(0+\frac{a^{2}}{2} \sin ^{-1} 0\right)\right]$
$=4\left[\frac{a^{2}}{2} \times \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ $\left[\because \sin ^{-1} 0=0\right]$
$=\pi a$
