Approximating Area   Consider the circle \(r=8 \cos \theta\).

(a) Find the area of the circle.

(b) Complete the table giving the areas A of the sectors of the circle between \(\theta=0\) and the values of \(\theta\) in the table.

(c) Use the table in part (b) to approximate the values of \(\theta\) for which the sector of the circle composes \(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}\), and \(\frac{3}{4}\) of the total area of the circle.

(d) Use a graphing utility to approximate, to two decimal places, the angles \(\theta\) for which the sector of the circle composes \(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}\), and \(\frac{3}{4}\) of the total area of the circle.

(e) Do the results of part (d) depend on the radius of the circle? Explain.
