We have $f (x) = \max {\sin x, \cos x}, - π \leq x \leq π$

Now, the area of the region enclosed by the given curve and the $x$ –axis is

$=$ $| \int_{- π}^{- 3 π / 4} \sin x d x |$ $+$ $| \int_{- 3 π / 4}^{- π / 2} \cos x d x |$ $+$ $| \int_{- π / 2}^{π / 4} \cos x d x |$ $+$ $| \int_{π / 4}^{π} \sin x d x |$

$= \frac{- 1}{\sqrt{2}} + 1 + 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + 1 + 1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 4$
