Answer
View full question & answer→According to the question,
Given, equation of circle is $x^2+y^2=32$
Given , equation of line is $y=x$
Consider $x^2+y^2=32$,
$\Rightarrow x^2+y^2=(4 \sqrt{2})^2$
Given circle has centre at $(0, 0)$ and
radius of circle is $=4 \sqrt{2}$
To find the point of intersection,
On substituting $y=x$ in Eq. $(i),$ we get
$2 x^2=32 $
$\Rightarrow x^2=16 $
$\Rightarrow x= \pm 4$
When $x = 4$ then $y = 4$
When $x = - 4$ then $y = - 4$
Thus, the points of intersection are $(4, 4)$ and $(-4,-4)$
So, given line and the circle intersect in the first quadrant at point $A(4, 4)$ and
The circle cut the $Y-$axis at point $B (0,4 \sqrt{2})$.
Now, let us sketch the graph of given curves, we get

Let us draw $AM$ perpendicular to $Y-$axis.
Required area $=$ Area of shaded region $\text{OABO}$
$=\int_0^4 x_{\text {(line) }} d y+\int_4^{4 \sqrt{2}} x_{\text {(circle) }} d y$
$\because x^2+y^2=32 $
$\Rightarrow x= \pm \sqrt{32-y^2}$, but we need area of region enclosed in the first quadrant only, so $x =\sqrt{32-y^2}$
$=\int_0^4 y d y+\int_4^{4 \sqrt{2}} \sqrt{32-y^{-2}} d y$
$=\left[\frac{y^2}{2}\right]_0^4+\int_4^{4 \sqrt{2}} \sqrt{(4 \sqrt{2})^2-y^2} d y$
$=\frac{1}{2}(16-0)+\left[\frac{y}{2} \sqrt{32-y^2}+\frac{32}{2} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{4 \sqrt{2}}\right)\right]_4^{4 \sqrt{2}}$
$=8+\left[16 \sin ^{-1}(1)-\left\{2 \times 4+16 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\right\}\right]$
$=8+\left[16 \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}-8-16 \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}\right]$
$=16\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=16 \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}$
$=4 \pi$ sq units
