You need to find the points of intersection between the function and the circle.

 

In this case the point of intersection is sin(45) which is a recurring fraction.

The line y= x intersects the unit circle, [math]x^2+ y^2= 1[/math] where [math]x^2+ x^2= 2x^2= 1[/math] or [math]x= \frac{\sqrt{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/math]

Similarly the line y= -x intersects the unit circle where [math]x= -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/math].

 

To find the area between y= |x| and the circle, integrate [math]\int_{-\sqrt{2}/2}^{\sqrt{2}/2} \sqrt{1- x^2}- |x| dx=[/math][math] 2\int_0^{\sqrt{2}/2} \sqrt{1- x^2}- x dx[/math].

COOL!! THANK YOU GUYS!

Actually, there are two bounded regions "between the circle x^2+ y^2= 1 and the graph y= |x|", one above the absolute value graph and below the circle, the other above the circle and below the absolute value graph.  As Bender said, the first area is a quarter the area of the entire circle, pi/4, the second is the other three quarters the area of the circle, 3\pi/4.
