so we're looking for the area enclosed like so in the picture, now, where sin(x) and cos(x) meet or intersect at least on the 1st Quadrant will be at π/4 where both are 1/√2, so we're really looking for
[tex]\displaystyle\int_{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}~~[sin(x)~~ - ~~cos(x)]dx\implies \int_{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}sin(x)dx~~ - ~~\int_{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}cos(x)dx \\\\\\ \left. \cfrac{}{}-cos(x) \right]_{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}~~ - ~~\left. \cfrac{}{}sin(x) \right]_{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}\implies [0]~~ - ~~\left[-\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right]~~ + ~~[-1]~~ - ~~\left[ -\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right][/tex]
[tex]\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-1+\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\implies \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{2}}-1\implies \sqrt{2}-1[/tex]
