In the figure, the large circle with centre $O$ has radius $4$ and
the small circle with centre $P$ has radius $1$. The small circle
rolls around the inside of the larger one. When $P$ was on the line
$OA$ (before the small circle began to roll), the point $B$ was
in contact with the point $A$ on the large circle.
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.7]
% Main circle centered at origin
\draw (0,0) circle (4);
% Define points
\coordinate (O) at (0,0);
\coordinate (A) at (4,0);
\coordinate (P) at ({3*cos(50)},{3*sin(50)});
\coordinate (Q) at ({5*cos(50)},{5*sin(50)});
\coordinate (B) at ({3*cos(50) + 1*cos(170)}, {3*sin(50) + 1*sin(170)});
% Smaller circle centered at P
\draw (P) circle (1);
% Line from origin to A
\draw (O) -- (A);
\draw[-{Stealth[length=3mm]}]
($(P) + ({0.7*cos(210)},{0.7*sin(210)})$)
arc (210:80:.7);
% Line from origin to B
\draw (O) -- (Q);
% Angle phi
\draw pic["$\phi$", draw=gray!80, angle radius=0.65cm] {angle=A--O--P};
% Labels

Sketch the curve $C$ traced by $B$ as the circle rolls. Show that
if we take $O$ to be the origin of cartesian coordinates and the
line $OA$ to be the $x$-axis (so that $A$ is the point $(4,0)$)
then $B$ is the point
\[
(3\cos\phi+\cos3\phi,3\sin\phi-\sin3\phi).
\]
It is given that the area of the region enclosed by the curve $C$
is
\[
\int_{0}^{2\pi}x\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}\phi}\,\mathrm{d}\phi,
\]
where $B$ is the point $(x,y).$ Calculate this area.
