Question:
Find the area enclosed by the curve x=3cost,y=2sint
Answer:

Given equation of curve are

x = 3cost

=> x/3 = cost ........1

y = 2sint

=> y/2 = sint .........2

Square equation 1 and 2 and add the , we get

x2 /9 + y2 / 4 = sin2 t + cos2 t

=> x2 /9 + y2 / 4 = 1   (since sin2 t + cos2 t = 1 )

It is equation of an ellipse. So curve forms an ellipse.

Now area of ellipse = 4 *03  (2/3) *√(9 - x2 ) dx

                             = (8/3) [(x/2) *√(9 - x2 ) + (9/2) * sin-1 (x/3) 0]3   (Using formula of √(a2 - x2 ) )

                             = 6π 

So required area is 6π unit2
