Step 1
Consider the following curves:
r2=50sin(2θ), r=5
The objective is to find the area of the region that lies inside both the curves.
Sketch the region as follows:

Find the intersection points as follows:
From the curves,
50sin2θ=52
sin2θ=2550
sin2θ=12
2θ=π6, 5π6, 13π6, 17π6
θ=π12, 5π12, 13π12, 17π12
The formula for the area A of the polar region R is,
A=αb12[f(θ]2dθ
Step 2
The desired area can be found by adding the area inside the cardioid between θ=0 and π4 from the area inside the circle from 0 to π4
Since the region is symmetric about θ=π4, you can write the area is,
A=2{2×120π12(50sin(2θ))2dθ+2×12π12π452dθ}
=2{0π1250sin(2θ)dθ+π12π425dθ}
=2{[502cos2θ]0π12+25[θ]π12π4}
=2[25(cosπ6cos0)+25(π4π12)]
=2[25(321)+25(2π12)]
=2(2532+25
