Area in Polar Coordinates If f is continuous and nonnegative on the interval [α,β], 0 < β – α < 2π, then the area of the region bounded by the graph of r=f(θ) between the radial lines θ=α and θ=β is given by
Proof of Area Remember the area of a sector is given by ½θr2 Radius of ith sector = f(θi) Central angle of ith sector = (β – α)/n = Δθ Taking the limit as n ∞ produces
Arc Length of a Polar Curve Let f be a function whose derivative is continuous on an intervalα <θ< β. The length of the graph of r=f(θ) from θ=α to θ=β is (Proof is Exercise 89 Section 10.5)
