Instead of being bound by a rectangular region regions in polar coordinates are often bound with
$$\begin{gather}
a\leq r\leq b \\ \alpha \leq \theta \leq \beta
\end{gather}$$
![[PolarRegion.excalidraw]]
if a function is defined as $f(x,y)$ and the region it is integrated over is polar the integral will often look similar to
$$\int_{\alpha}^\beta \int_{a}^b f(r\cos(\theta), r\sin(\theta))r \ dr d\theta$$
Find the volume of the solid below $z=1-x^2-y^2$ and above the first quadrant on the xy plane
rearranging the equation gives $x^2+y^2=1-z$ which shows that each horizontal slice of the function is a circle centered at $(0,0)$ with a radius of $\sqrt{ 1-z }$
since the slice of the equation at $z=0$ forms the circle $x^2+y^2=1$ the bounds
