Answer

$A=\dfrac{\pi^3}{6}$

Work Step by Step

The area of a shaded region is given as: $A=\dfrac{1}{2}\int_p^q r^2 d \theta$ consider $A=\dfrac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{\pi} (\theta)^2 d \theta$ $\implies A= (\dfrac{1}{2}) [\dfrac{\theta^3}{3}]_{0}^{\pi}=(\dfrac{1}{6})[\pi^3-0]$ Thus, $A=\dfrac{\pi^3}{6}$
