Question 21. Draw a rough sketch of the curve
and find the area between x-axis, the curve and the ordinates x = 0, x = π
Solution:
Here, we have to find the bounded by
x-axis, x = 0 and x = π
Here is the table for values of
x 0 ![]()

π 1.57 2.07 2.57 3.07 3.57 3.07 2.57 2.07 1.57 Here is the rough sketch,
Shaded region represents the required area.
We slice it into approximation rectangle of
Width = △x
Length = y
Area of rectangle = y△x
The approx rectangles slide from x = 0 to x = π,
Thus,
Required area = Region ABCDO
Required area =
square units
Question 22. Draw a rough sketch of the curve
and find the area between the x-axis, the curve and the ordinates x = 0, x = π.
Solution:
Here, we have the area between y-axis,
x = 0,
x = π
and
Thus, the table for equation (1) is
x 0 π y 0 0.66 1.25 1.88 2.5 1.88 1.25 0.66 0
Shaded region represents the required area.
We slice it into approximation rectangle of
Width = △x
Length = y
Area of rectangle = y△x
The approx rectangles slide from x = 0 to x = π,
Thus,
Required area = Region ABOA
Required area =
square units
Question 23. Find the area bounded by the curve y = cos x between x = 0 and x = 2π
Solution:
Here from the figure we can see that
The required area = area of the region OABO + area of the region BCDB + area of the region DEFD
Therefore,
The required area =
Question 24. Show that the areas under the curves y = sin x and y = sin 2x between x = 0 and x =
are the ratio 2:3.
Solution:
We have to find the area under the curve
y = sin x ……..(1)
and
y = sin 2x …………(2)
Between x = 0 and x =
x
y = sin x
y = sin 2x 0 0.8 1 0.8 0 Here is the rough sketch
Area under curve y = sin 2x
Shaded region represents the required area.
We slice it into approximation rectangle of
Width = △x
Length = y1
Area of rectangle = y1△x
The approx rectangles slide from x = 0 to x =
,
Thus,
Required area = Region OPACO
We slice it into approximation rectangle of
Width = △x
Length = y2
Area of rectangle = y2△x
The approx rectangles slide from x = 0 to x =
,
Thus,
Required area = Region OQACO
Thus,
Question 25. Compare the area under the curves y = cos2x and y = sin2x between x = 0 and x = π
Solution:
Here to compare area under curves
y = cos2x
and
y = sin2x
Between x = 0 and x = π
This is the table for y = cos2x and y = sin2x
x

y = sin2x 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 1 0.75 0.5 0.25 0
Area of region enclosed by
y = cos2x and axis
A1 = Region OABO + Region BCDB
= 2(Region BCDB)
![]()
Area of region enclosed by y = sin2x and axis
A2 = Region OEDO
From equation (1) and (2),
A1 = A2
Thus,
Area enclosed by y = cos2x = Area enclosed by y = sin2x.
Question 26. Find the area bounded by the ellipse
and the ordinates x = 0 and x = ae, where, b2 = a2(1 – e 2) and e < 1.
Solution:
Thus, the required area in the figure below of the region BOB’RFSB is enclosed by the ellipse and the lines x = 0 and x = ae
Here is the area of the region BOB’RFSB
Question 27. Find the area of the minor segment of the circle x2 + y2 = a2 cut-off by the line x =
.
Solution:
Area of the mirror segment of the circle
Question 28. Find the area of the region bounded by the curve x = at, y = 2at between the ordinates corresponding t = 1 and t = 2.
Solution:
Area of the bounded region
Question 29. Find the area enclosed by the curve x = 3 cos t, y = 2 sin t.
Solution:
Area of the bounded region
= -8 [0 – 1]
= 8 square units
