Let R be the shaded region in the first quadrant enclosed by the y-axis and the graphs of #y=sin(x)# and #y=cos(x)#, how do you find the area of R? Calculus Introduction to Integration Integration: the Area Problem 1 Answer Cesareo R. Oct 5, 2016 #sqrt(2)-1# Explanation: #R =int_0^(pi/4)(cos(x)-sin(x))dx = (sin(pi/4)+cos(pi/4))-(sin(0)+cos(0)) = 2sqrt(2)/2-1=sqrt(2)-1# Answer link Related questions How do you find the area of a region using integration?
