we shld know that

arc.sin x +arc.sin y = arc.sin ( x.(1-y2)1/2 + y.(1-x2)1/2 )  for -1 < x,y < 1and x2+y2<=1

here put y = (1-x2)1/2  and it satisfies that for -1 < x < 1 , 0< (1-x2)1/2 < 1  

                                                                                           and  x2+1-x2=1

so I1 + I2 = integral ( arc.sin ( x2 + (1-x2)1/2.(1-x2)1/2 ))

                = integral ( arc.sin ( 1 ))

               = integral ( Pi/2 )

              = x.Pi/2
