Answer

The area is bounded by $$ r=2 \sin \theta \quad \text {for } \theta =0 \quad \text {to} \quad \theta=\pi $$ and equal to $$ A =\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{2} r^{2} d \theta =\pi $$

Work Step by Step

The area is bounded by $$r=2 \sin \theta \quad \text {for } \theta =0 \quad \text {to} \quad \theta=\pi $$ $$ \begin{aligned} A &=\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{2} r^{2} d \theta \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\pi}(2 \sin \theta)^{2} d \theta \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\pi} 4 \sin ^{2} \theta d \theta \\ &=2 \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 \theta) d \theta \\ &=\left[\theta-\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 \theta\right]_{0}^{\pi} \\ &=\pi \end{aligned} $$
