How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

A disc of radius r has Riemann area pi r squared; in particular the unit disc has area pi

Statement

For every r>0, the Riemann area of the closed disc of radius r is πr2. In particular, the unit disc has area π.

Facts & Assumptions

[L1]

If φ is differentiable with integrable derivative and f is continuous on an interval containing its image, then ∫φ(c)φ(d)f=∫cd(f∘φ)φ′ (Substitution: if φ is differentiable on [c,d] with φ′ integrable and f is continuous on an interval containing φ([c,d]), then ∫φ(c)φ(d)f=∫cd(f∘φ) φ′).

[L2]

For every real x, the quarter-turn shift formulas are sin⁡(x+π/2)=cos⁡x and cos⁡(x+π/2)=−sin⁡x, and in particular sin⁡(π/2)=1 and cos⁡(π/2)=0. For all real x,y, the sine and cosine addition formulas hold; moreover, sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x=1 for every real x (Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi, The addition formulas for sine and cosine, Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine).

[L3]

(sin⁡t)′=cos⁡t and (cos⁡t)′=−sin⁡t (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine).

[L5]

If G is differentiable at every point of [a,b], f=G′ there, and f is integrable, then ∫abf=G(b)−G(a) (The second fundamental theorem: if G is differentiable on [a,b] with G′=f and f is integrable, then ∫abf=G(b)−G(a)).

Proof

1.1

By the definition of graph area, the unit-disc area is 2∫−111−x2 dx.

given
1.2

For radius r, the graph-area formula is 2∫−rrr2−x2 dx. Substitute x=ru by [L1]; since r>0, the integrand becomes r1−u2 and dx=r du, so the value is r2 times the unit-disc area.

2.1

Apply [L1] with x=sin⁡t on [−π/2,π/2]. Cosine is nonnegative there, so 1−sin⁡2t=cos⁡t by [L2]; hence the area is 2∫−π/2π/2cos⁡2t dt.

3.1

By [L2] and [L4], this equals ∫−π/2π/21 dt+∫−π/2π/2cos⁡(2t) dt.

step 2.1L2L4algebra
4.1

The first integral is π by [L6]. The second is 0: (12sin⁡(2t))′=cos⁡(2t) by [L3], and [L5] evaluates its endpoint difference as 0. Thus the unit-disc area is π.

Combining steps 4.1 and 1.2 gives area πr2 for every r>0.
