Worked example: Area enclosed by cardioid

Girish Sharma on Instagram: "Finding the Area of a Heart using Calculus! What happens when you combine a beautiful cardioid graph with the power of integration? This is where calculus transforms geometry! +++ Integration allows us to sum up infinite tiny pieces to find the area of complex shapes-and that's exactly what we're doing with this cardioid. In this reel, I break it down step-by-step: Plotting the cardioid: r = a(1 + cos 0) Finding the limits of integration (the key intersection points)
