Area in a polar curve - approximate with sectors
This interactive figure dynamically illustrates how an area bounded by a polar function is calculated. It also displays an approximate value of such an area broken up into sectors.
Note:
This figure uses the variable t instead of the variable .
To enter an exact value in the input box, such as , type "5pi/6".
