How to find the length of the curve $(x^2+y^2)^3 = 4(x^2 + xy +y^2)^2$?
I have found an explicit polar form $r = 2-cos(2theta)$ by setting $x = rcos(theta)$ and $y = rsin(theta)$. Now I can have a parametrization in $theta$ but I can also use the derived formula for the length of a curve in explicit polar form: $$intsqrtr(theta)^2+r'(theta)^2mathrm dtheta$$
However this doesn't seem to work, I can't reduce the square root to anything simpler.

Are you sure there is a nice answer? It seems that neither Maple nor WolframAlpha can evaluate the integral algebraically.

First of all, I think that you made a small mistake since, if I am correct,
$$r(theta)=2+sin(2theta)$$
Now, using
$$L=intsqrtr(theta)^2+r'(theta)^2, dtheta$$ and simplifying, you end with the monster
$$L=frac1sqrt2int sqrt8 sin (2 t)+3 cos (4 t)+13, dtheta$$ which,as Milten commented, is far away to be pleasant. So, numerical integration seems to be the way to go.
