a small loop for θ from 0 to (π/2):  A_1 =(1/2)∫_0 ^( (π/2)) ρ^2 dθ  =(a^2 /2)∫_0 ^( (π/2)) sin^2  2θdθ  =(a^2 /4)∫_0 ^( (π/2)) (1−cos 4θ)dθ  =(a^2 /4)[θ−((sin 4θ)/4)]_0 ^(π/2)   =((πa^2 )/8)  for a total loop from 0 to 2π,  A=4×((πa^2 )/8)=((πa^2 )/2)

$$\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{small}\:\mathrm{loop}\:\mathrm{for}\:\theta\:\mathrm{from}\:\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{to}\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{1}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \rho^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{d}\theta \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{2}\theta\mathrm{d}\theta \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{4}}\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \left(\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4}\theta\right)\mathrm{d}\theta \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{4}}\left[\theta−\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{4}\theta}{\mathrm{4}}\right]_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$=\frac{\pi\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{total}\:\mathrm{loop}\:\mathrm{from}\:\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{2}\pi, \\ $$$$\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{4}×\frac{\pi\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{8}}=\frac{\pi\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
