Lesson Worksheet: Green’s Theorem Mathematics
In this worksheet, we will practice applying Green’s theorem to evaluate a line integral around a closed curve as the double integral over the plane region bounded by the curve.

Q4:
The figure shows the steps to producing a curve . It starts as the boundary of the unit square in Figure (a). In Figure (b), we remove a square quarter of the area of the square in (a). In Figure (c), we add a square quarter of the area that we removed in (b). In Figure (d), we remove a square quarter of the area of the square we added in (c). If we continue to do this indefinitely, we will get the curve . We let be the region enclosed by .
