Review trig substitution.

Solution:

Step 1:  
First, we need to calculate Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{dr}{d\theta}} . Since Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r=\theta,~\frac{dr}{d\theta}=1} .
Using the formula in Foundations, we have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L=\int_0^{2\pi}\sqrt{\theta^2+1}d\theta} .
Step 2:  
Now, we proceed using trig substitution. Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \theta=\tan x} . Then, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle d\theta=\sec^2xdx} .
So, the integral becomes
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{L} & = & \displaystyle{\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\sqrt{\tan^2x+1}\sec^2xdx}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\sec^3xdx}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{1}{2}\sec x \tan x +\frac{1}{2}\ln|\sec x +\tan x|\bigg|_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}}\\ \end{array}}
Step 3:  
Since Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \theta=\tan x} , we have Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=\tan^{-1}\theta} .
So, we have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{L} & = & \displaystyle{\frac{1}{2}\sec (\tan^{-1}(\theta)) \theta +\frac{1}{2}\ln|\sec (\tan^{-1}(\theta)) +\theta|\bigg|_{0}^{2\pi}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{1}{2}\sec(\tan^{-1}(2\pi))2\pi+\frac{1}{2}\ln|\sec(\tan^{-1}(2\pi))+2\pi|}\\ \end{array}}
Final Answer:  
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\sec(\tan^{-1}(2\pi))2\pi+\frac{1}{2}\ln|\sec(\tan^{-1}(2\pi))+2\pi|}
