I know that the area of a curve given in polar coordinates is ∫θ2θ1r22dθ. But what is the area outside one curve and inside another, when one of them is not entirely inside the other?
For example, what is the area inside a(1+cosθ) and outside asinθ?
Answer
integrate the cardioid from −π to π2 and subtract half the circle
