#color(blue)[A=int_(pi/8)^(pi/4)[8(theta)^2-32thetacos(3theta)+32cos^2(3theta)]*d(theta)=4.68224]#

Explanation:

the area of the polar curve given by:

#color(red)[A=1/2int_(theta_1)^(theta_2)r^2*d(theta)#

The interval of the integral #theta in [pi/8,pi/4]#

now lets setup the integral in our interval:

#A=1/2int_(pi/8)^(pi/4)(8sin(3theta-(2pi)/4) +4theta)^2*d(theta)#

#A=1/2int_(pi/8)^(pi/4)(4theta-8cos(3theta))^2*d(theta)#

#A=1/2int_(pi/8)^(pi/4)(4theta-8cos(3theta))^2*d(theta)#

#A=int_(pi/8)^(pi/4)[8(theta)^2-32thetacos(3theta)+32cos^2(3theta)]*d(theta)#

#=[(24sin(6theta)-96xsin(3theta)-32cos(3theta)+24theta^3+144theta)/9]_(pi/8)^(pi/4)#

#[(3*2^(21/2)pisin((3pi)/8)+2^(27/2)*cos((3pi)/8)+21*2^(5/2)pi^3+(9*2^(19/2)-6144)pi-3*2^(23/2)+2048)/(9*2^(17/2))]=4.68224#

Approximation:
#A=4.68224#
