The curve given in polar form by r=4sin⁡θr=4\sin\theta for 0≤θ≤π0\le \theta \le \pi is rewritten parametrically as x=rcos⁡θx=r\cos\theta and y=rsin⁡θy=r\sin\theta. Which definite integral represents the length of the curve on this interval? a) ∫0π/2(4sin⁡θ)2+(4cos⁡θ)2 dθ\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sqrt{(4\sin\theta)^{2}+(4\cos\theta)^{2}}\,d\theta b) ∫0π(4sin⁡θ)2+(4cos⁡θ)2 dθ\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi} \sqrt{(4\sin\theta)^{2}+(4\cos\theta)^{2}}\,d\theta c) ∫0π[(4sin⁡θ)2+(4cos⁡θ)2] dθ\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi} \big[(4\sin\theta)^{2}+(4\cos\theta)^{2}\big] \,d\theta d) ∫0π(4cos⁡θ)2 dθ\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi} \sqrt{(4\cos\theta)^{2}}\,d\theta
