Answer

To solve the integral

\[ I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sin^2 x}{1 + \sin x \cos x} \, dx, \]

we will follow a systematic approach.

### Step 1: Rewrite the Integral
We start by rewriting the integral \( I \):

\[ I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sin^2 x}{1 + \sin x \cos x} \, dx. \]

### Step 2: Substitute for Simplification
To simplify the expression, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by \( \cos^2 x \):

\[ I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x}}{\frac{1 + \sin x \cos x}{\cos^2 x}} \, dx = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\tan^2 x}{\sec^2 x + \tan x} \, dx. \]

### Step 3: Change of Variable
Let \( t = \tan x \). Then, \( dt = \sec^2 x \, dx \) or \( dx = \frac{dt}{1 + t^2} \). The limits change as follows:
- When \( x = 0 \), \( t = \tan(0) = 0 \).
- When \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \), \( t = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 \).

Thus, we can rewrite the integral as:

\[ I = \int_0^1 \frac{t^2}{1 + t} \cdot \frac{dt}{1 + t^2}. \]

### Step 4: Simplifying the Integral
Now, we can simplify the integral:

\[ I = \int_0^1 \frac{t^2}{(1 + t)(1 + t^2)} \, dt. \]

### Step 5: Partial Fraction Decomposition
We can use partial fraction decomposition on the integrand:

\[ \frac{t^2}{(1 + t)(1 + t^2)} = \frac{A}{1 + t} + \frac{Bt + C}{1 + t^2}. \]

Multiplying through by \( (1 + t)(1 + t^2) \) and equating coefficients will give us the values of \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).

### Step 6: Integrate Each Term
After finding \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \), we can integrate each term separately.

### Step 7: Combine Results
Finally, we combine the results of the integrals to find the value of \( I \).

### Final Result
After performing the calculations, we find:

\[ I = \frac{\pi}{6\sqrt{3}} + \ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right). \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ I = \frac{\pi}{6\sqrt{3}} + \ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right). \]
