Step 1 :
\The curves are
and
.
First find out the points, where the two curves intersect.
\
General solution of
is
, where n is an integer.

If n = 0, then
.
Graph two curves in polar - coordinate plane.
\ Graph : \.gif\")
We can observe from the graph that the two curves intersect at 8 points.
\There are 8 intersects on the interval
.
By symmetry area of the region that lies inside the both curves :
\
Area of the region that lies inside the both curves is
square units.
