r(θ) = <sinθ - θcosθ, cosθ + θsinθ, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 5
L = ∫05√[(cosθ - cosθ + θsinθ)2 + (- sinθ + sinθ + θcosθ)2]dθ = ∫05θdθ = θ2/205 = 12.5
r = <sin(θ)-θcos(θ),cos(θ)+θsin(θ)>
s = int from θ= 0 to 5 of sqrt((dx/dθ)2 + (dy/dθ)2)dθ
dx/dθ = θsinθ dy/dθ = θcosθ using chain rule
s = int from 0 to 5 of sqrt ( θ2cos2θ + θ2sin2θ) dθ = int 0 to 5 of θdθ = 25/2
