Using integration, find the area enclosed by the circle x² + y² = 9.

Answer: The upper half of the circle is y = √(9 − x²). Therefore, the total area is 2∫₋₃³√(9 − x²) dx = 9π square units.

Solution

The circle has radius 33. Its total area using integration is 2∫−339−x2 dx=9π2\int_{-3}^{3}\sqrt{9-x^2}\,dx = 9\pi square units.
