Problem
What is the area of the region enclosed by the graph of the equation
Solution
Consider the case when , . Notice the circle intersect the axes at points and . Find the area of this circle in the first quadrant. The area is made of a semi-circle with radius of and a triangle: Because of symmetry, the area is the same in all four quadrants. The answer is
