Answer

$1$

Work Step by Step

Recall: Let $f(x)\geq 0$ for $a\leq x\leq b$, the area under the graph of $y=f(x)$ and above the $x-$axis between $x=a$ and $x=b$ is represented by $A=\int_a^b f(x)dx$. Using this knowledge to find the area: $Area=\int_0^{\pi/2}\sin x dx$ $=[-\cos x]_0^{\pi/2}$ $=(-\cos \frac{\pi}{2})-(-\cos 0)$ $=0-(-1)$ $=1$ Thus, the area is $1$.
