Find the area of the region {(x, y) : x2 + y2≤ 4, x + y ≥ 2}.
Region is defined as- x2 + y2 ≤ 4, x + y ≥ 2
x2 + y2 = 4 represents a circle with center at (0,0) and x+y=2 is line.
First, let us calculate the points of intersection,
Putting y = 2 – x in the equation of a circle, we get,
x2 + (2 – x)2 = 4
x2 + 4 + x2 – 4x = 4
2x2 – 4x = 0
2x(x – 2) = 0
x = 0 or x = 2.
So, the points of intersection are (2, 0) and (0, 2).
The region defined with inequation is shaded in the figure.
Required area = area under circle – area under the line(x + y= 2)
![]()
Note- Formula to be used: ![]()
⇒ Area = ![]()
∴ Area = 2 Sin⁻11 – 2
⇒ Area = (π – 2) sq. units
