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(fφ)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(fφ)φ).

[L2]

For every real x, the quarter-turn shift formulas are sin(x+π/2)=cosx and cos(x+π/2)=sinx, 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, sin2x+cos2x=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]

(sint)=cost and (cost)=sint (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

technique · direct
1.1

By the definition of graph area, the unit-disc area is 2111x2dx.

given
1.2

For radius r, the graph-area formula is 2rrr2x2dx. Substitute x=ru by [L1]; since r>0, the integrand becomes r1u2 and dx=rdu, so the value is r2 times the unit-disc area.

givenL1algebra
2.1

Apply [L1] with x=sint on [π/2,π/2]. Cosine is nonnegative there, so 1sin2t=cost by [L2]; hence the area is 2π/2π/2cos2tdt.

3.1

By [L2] and [L4], this equals π/2π/21dt+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.

5.1

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