1.
Show geometrically why .

This is an equation of a circle with radius sqrt 2 as shown above.

The given integral is the area of the circle from x = 0 to x = 1 in the first quadrant . I have shaded this area in the first diagram.

Therefore the value of the integral = Area of the shaded region.

We will find this area using geometry. We need to find area ODAC.

Area ODAC =Area OBC - Area of OAB + Area of OAD(this is a ...
