Answer

$\pi$

Work Step by Step

From the graph . The area is bounded by $r=2 \sin \theta$ for $\theta=0$ to $\theta=\pi$. $$ \begin{aligned} A & =\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{2} r^2 d \theta\\ &=\frac{1}{2} \int_0^\pi(2 \sin \theta)^2 d \theta\\ &=\frac{1}{2} \int_0^\pi 4 \sin ^2 \theta d \theta \\ & =2 \int_0^\pi \frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 \theta) d \theta\\ &=\left[\theta-\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 \theta\right]_0^\pi\\ &=\pi \end{aligned} $$
