Problem 788

AIME late
Geometry Difficulty 5.5 Find the answer

## Task Condition

Calculate the areas of figures bounded by lines given in polar coordinates.

r=2cos6ϕ r=2 \cos 6 \phi

A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.

Official solution

## Solution

Let's draw the graph of the function r=2cos6ϕr=2 \cos 6 \phi:

!

We will use the formula for calculating the area of a region in polar coordinates:

S=12αβr2(ϕ)dϕ S=\frac{1}{2} \int_{\alpha}^{\beta} r^{2}(\phi) d \phi

Obviously, to find the area of the entire figure, it is sufficient to calculate the area for 0ϕπ60 \leq \phi \leq \frac{\pi}{6} and multiply it by 12.

S=12120π64cos26ϕdϕ=121220π62cos26ϕdϕ=120π6(1+cos12ϕ)dϕ= S=12 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{6}} 4 \cos ^{2} 6 \phi d \phi=12 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{6}} 2 \cos ^{2} 6 \phi d \phi=12 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{6}}(1+\cos 12 \phi) d \phi=

=12(ϕ+112sin12ϕ)0π6=12(π6+112sin(12π6))12(0+112sin(120))==2π+sin2π0=2π \begin{aligned} & =\left.12 \cdot\left(\phi+\frac{1}{12} \sin 12 \phi\right)\right|_{0} ^{\frac{\pi}{6}}=12 \cdot\left(\frac{\pi}{6}+\frac{1}{12} \sin \left(12 \cdot \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right)-12 \cdot\left(0+\frac{1}{12} \sin (12 \cdot 0)\right)= \\ & =2 \pi+\sin 2 \pi-0=2 \pi \end{aligned}
