Find the area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve r=sin4Ɵ?

this is an area and arc length in polar coordinates problem. What do i do with the 4? angles where sin = 0 are at 0 and "pi". am i supposed to multiply the 4 with pi and zero ? im confused.

sin4θ=0 4θ= 0, pi, 2pi, etcθ= 0, pi/4, pi/2, etcIntegrate (1/2)r^2dθ from θ= 0 to pi/4 to get one loop.INT (1/2)(sin4θ)^2dθ for [0, pi/4]= .196, using my TI🙂 R... Show More
