I'll do the second part once I get back from the gym if nobody's posted it by then.

Also, this should really be in the MX1 forum.

That's a very inefficient way of doing the first part. The two quarter-circles cancel out and you're left with finding the area of a trapezium. No integration necessary.
So u just integrate the equation of y=2 and y= -x+6 ??????and whats the diff b/w part (i) and (ii)????

Whats the difference between part (i) and (ii) ????
