Coordinates of point `P` will be `(acostheta,bsintheta)`.
Coordinates of point `Q` will be `(acos(theta+pi/6),bsin(theta+pi/6))`.
Here, `O` is origin.
`:.` Area of `Delta OPQ`,
`A = 1/2|[acostheta,bsintheta,1],[acos(theta+pi/6),bsin(theta+pi/6),1],[0,0,1]|`
`=>A = 1/2[acosthetabsin(theta+pi/6) - acos(theta+pi/6)bsintheta]`
`=>A = 1/2ab[sin((theta+pi/6)-theta)]`
`=>A = 1/2ab sin (pi/6)`
