A=5π4π4sinxcosxdx=22

Explanation:

The Area due to x-axis between two curves given by:

A=bay2y1dx

The interval of our integral x[π4,5π4]

now let set up the integral:

A=5π4π4sinxcosxdx=[cosxsinx]5π4π4

[(sin(5π4)cos(5π4))(sin(π4)cos(π4))]

[22+22]=42=22

show the wanted area below(shaded):
y=sinx blue curve
y=cosx green curve
