Solution



We have,y=a2-x2y2=a2-x2x2+y2=a2Since in the given equation x2+y2=a2, all the powers of both x and y are even, the curve is symmetrical about both the axis .Required area = area enclosed by circle in first quadrant(a, 0 ), (-a, 0) are the points of intersection of curve and x-axis(0, a), (0, -a) are the points of intersection of curve and y-axisSlicing the area in the first quadrant into vertical stripes of height =y and width =dxArea of approximating rectangle =y dxApproximating rectangle can move between x=0 and x=aA=Area of enclosed curve in first quadrant =0ay dxA=0aa2-x2 dx=12xa2-x2+12a2sin-1xa0a=12a2sin-11=12a2π2 =a2π4 sq units
