Integration in polar coordinates involves finding not the area underneath a curve but, rather, the area of a sector bounded by a curve. Consider the region bounded by the curve r = f (θ) and the two rays and , with . To derive a formula for the area, divide the region into N narrow sectors of angle

corresponding to a partition of the interval
Recall that a circular sector of angle Δθ and radius r has21 .

If Δθ is small, the jth narrow sector is nearly a circular sector of radius rj = f (θj), so its area is 2 .1

Area Between Two Curves Find the area of the region inside the circle r = 2 cos θ but outside the circle r = 1.The two circles intersect at the points where (r, 2 cos θ) = (r, 1) orin other words, when 2 cos θ = 1.

We close this section by deriving a formula for arc length in polar coordinates. Observe that a polar curve r = f (θ) has a parametrization with θ as a parameter:

Note that the upper limit of integration is π rather than 2π because the entire circle is traced out as θ varies from 0 to π. Rectangular Coordinates
Since x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ, we use the chain rule.
