Find the region bounded by $y=x \sin x$, and $y=x$

Find the area bounded by the region $y=x \sin(x)$, and $y=x$, for $0\le x\le \frac{\pi}{2}$.

My attempt

Area $=\int_\limits{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}(x-x\sin(x))dx$

After integrating I got:

$$[\frac{x^2}{2}+x\cos(x)-\sin(x)]_0^\frac{\pi}{2}$$

Is my answer right?

Which leads me to get approximately .2337 units squared.

Your answer is correct to four decimal places (see e.g. WolframAlpha for confirmation), just make sure you can also get the correct exact answer (in terms of $\pi$).
