Question:

The area (in sq. units) of the region bounded by the curve $y = \sqrt{16-x^2}$ and x-axis is

Options:

$8π$

$16π$

$24π$

$32π$

Correct Answer:

$8π$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $8π$

Region is the upper semicircle of radius $4$ (since $y=\sqrt{16-x^{2}}$, $-4\le x\le4$).

Area $=\displaystyle \int_{-4}^{4}\sqrt{16-x^{2}}\,dx=\frac{1}{2}\pi(4)^{2} = 8\pi$
