Find the area enclosed by circles $r=3costheta$ and $r=3sintheta$
I know that the graph of $r=3sintheta$ intersects at $theta=0$ and at $theta=pi$ why aren't these two bounds used and why only $theta$ equaling $pi$? Also the graph $r=3costheta$ intersects the pole at $theta=frac3pi2,frac1pi2$. So why do they only use $fracpi2$?

The two circles are intersecting at $theta=dfracpi4$ and $r=0$
The area region can be divided into two parts.
Note that we are bounded by the region of the red circle $($the lower part of the half$)$ by $theta=0mbox to theta=dfracpi4$
Similarly, the region of the purple circle $($the upper part of the half$)$ is bounded by $theta=dfracpi4$ to $dfracpi2$
So, we get $$dfrac12int_0^dfracpi4(3sintheta)^2dtheta+dfrac12int_fracpi4^dfracpi2(3costheta)^2dtheta$$
Perhaps you should proofread? It's also worth commenting that the two circles intersect at $r=0$, even though the $theta$-values are different.

Agh. You need to be more self-critical. The integrand in the second integral is still wrong.

Answer to the question: "Why do they only use $pi/2$... ?"
Note that the intersection region is locate in the first quadrant. This is parametrized by $theta in left[0,;frac pi2right]$.
Consider now a "radar ray" of an angle $theta$ in this interval. Then it first determines an $r$-interval in the intersection domain, and we know its limits. So the integral is
$$
beginaligned
J &=int_theta in [0,;pi/2]
int_rin[ 0,; 3min(costheta,; sintheta) ]r; dr; dtheta
\
&=
int_theta in [0,;pi/2]
left[frac r^22 right]_r=0^r=3min(costheta,;sintheta); dtheta
\
&=
2int_theta in [0,;pi/4]
frac 12cdot 9sin^2theta; dtheta
\
&qquadtext(use the substitution $y=pi/2-x$ for the
interval $left[fracpi4,;fracpi2right]$)
\
&=
frac 98(pi-2)
endaligned
$$
The result fits with the geometrical intuition, we compute the double of the following:
the area of a quarter of a disk with radius $frac 32$,
and from it we remove half of the area of a square with side $frac 32$. I.e.
$$
2left( frac 14pileft(frac 32right)^2-frac 12left(frac 32right)^2 right) .
$$

No calculus:
Let the two intersection points of the circles be A and B do that A is (0, 0) and B is (1.5, 1.5). It's easy to see that the arc formed by the center of a circle and A and B has measure $pi/2$. So the area of that sector is $2.25pi/4$. The area of the triangle formed by A, B, and center of the circle is $2.25/2$. So the area of half the desired area is $2.25pi/4 -2.25/2 $ and the desired area is $5pi/4-2.25$

So the area of that sector is $2.25pi/4$. The area of the triangle formed by A, B, and center of the circle is $2.25/2$. So the area of half the desired area is $2.25pi/4 -2.25/2 $ and the desired area is $5pi/4-2.25$
