If we draw the curve y=sinx, we see that the curve lies above the x -axis as far as x= and then lies under the x -axis.


The area of the region between x=0 and x= can therefore be written as


0sinxdx 

whilst the area of the remaining region under the x -axis is equal to


54sinxdx 


(note the minus sign in front of the integral).

The total area becomes


0sinxdx54sinxdx=cosx0cosx54=coscos0cos45cos=11121=1+112+1=312


NOTE: a simple way to obtain the values of cos0, cos and cos45 is to draw the angles 0, and 45 on a unit circle and to read off the cosine value as the x -coordinate for the corresponding point on the circle.
