Question
Find the area of the circle 4x2 + 4y2 = 9 which is interior to the parabola y2= 4 x.
Solution
Consider the equations
...(1)
and
i.e., ...(2)
From (1) and (2), we get,
From P, draw
Here
Required area = Area of shaded region
= 2 (area of region OAPO) = 2 [area of region OMPO + area of region MAPM]
