In general, what is the integral you need for that sort of thing?

Basically, given the two polar equations, how would u setup the integral to find the area of a region in general. So assume that you are given the question as it is but instead of those 2 equations you have these two GENERAL equations instead: r = f(theta) and r = f(alpha). How would you set up the integral in this case to find the area?
