Lemniscate Area

Slider "a" is a magnification tool and Slider "theta" is the theta value and is used to change the point P on the curve (and subsequently the area). The area is computed for the portion of the red curve that is bounded by line segment PQ.

This is a Java Applet created using GeoGebra from www.geogebra.org - it looks like you don't have Java installed, please go to www.java.com

**If the slider was allowed to go further in either direction, what would happen?!**
