By Calculus:
The shaded area is given by:
A = 2 1 ∫ 6 π 6 5 π ( r 2 ( θ ) − 2 2 ) d θ = 2 1 ∫ 6 π 6 5 π ( 1 6 sin 2 θ − 4 ) d θ = ∫ 6 π 6 5 π ( 4 ( 1 − cos 2 θ ) − 2 ) d θ = ∫ 6 π 6 5 π ( 2 − 4 cos 2 θ ) d θ = [ 2 θ − 2 sin 2 θ ] 6 π 6 5 π = 3 5 π − 3 π − 2 ( − 2 3 − − 2 3 ) = 3 4 π + 2 3
⟹ a + b + c = 4 + 3 + 2 = 9
By Geometry:
In rectangular coordinate system, we have:
{ x = r cos θ = 4 sin θ cos θ = 2 sin 2 θ y = r sin θ = 4 sin 2 θ = 2 − 2 cos 2 θ
⟹ x 2 + ( y − 2 ) 2 = 4 , which is a circle centered at ( 0 , 2 ) and radius 2.
We note that the segment in the overlap extends an angle of 1 2 0 ∘ with the upper circle. Therefore, the area of the shaded region
A = π R 2 − 2 ( 3 1 π R 2 − 2 × 2 1 × 2 1 × 2 3 R 2 ) = 4 π − 3 8 π + 2 3 = 3 4 π + 2 3 where R = 2
⟹ a + b + c = 4 + 3 + 2 = 9
