Homework Statement

I don't understand anything they do after 1:26 constructing the first diagram ("the zooming in part") and devising the integral.

Relevant Equations

provided here from 1:26 ONWARDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er512TwsxNM&t=86s

the attempted is the above ex. i needa justify why and figure out the reason behind those relevant equations.

puzzled at everything. may someone start from scratch
