Find limits of integration in polar coordinates

Suppose we have this graph and we want to find the area between the 2 curves:

We can calculate the are using a double integral:

~~![hi](https://math.codidact.com/uploads/yk94caT3ihKQs4P9nCVwGWhb)~~
In polar coordinates the equation of the curves take this form:
