Solution


Since in the given equation x24+y29 =1, all the powers of both x and y are even, the curve is symmetrical about both the axis .Area encloed by the curve and above x axis = area A'BA =2×area enclosed by ellipse and x-axis in first quadrant(2, 0 ), (-2, 0) are the points of intersection of curve and x-axis(0, 3), (0, -3) 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=2 A=Area of enclosed curve above x-axis =202y dxA=202y dxA=202324-x2 dxA=3024-x2 dxA=312x 4-x2 +12 4 sin-1x02=30+12×4 sin-11=3×12×4×π2= 3π sq. unitsArea of enclosed region above x-axis = 3π sq. units
