% here is some definitions stuffs
Green's theorem is commonly defined as follows.\footnote{"Section 5-7: Green's Theorem" - Paul Dawkins, Lamar University - 02-22-2019. (http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcIII/GreensTheorem.aspx)} Let $C$ be a simple, smooth, closed, positively-oriented curve and $D$ the region enclosed by said curve. Assume $P$ and $Q$ are, at least, singly differentiable. Then, the following relationship holds:

Otherwise, in order to solve the area enclosed by the spiral, we would need to evaluate:
\begin{align*}
\text{Area} &= \int^{2\pi}_{0} t\cos{t}\cdot (t\sin{t})'\:dt \\
&= \int^{2\pi}_{0}t\cos{t}\cdot (t\cos{t}+\sin{t})\:dt \\
&= \int^{2\pi}_{0} t^{2}\cos^{2}{t}+t\sin{t}\cos{t}\:dt
\text{Area} &= \int^{b}_{a}F(x)dx,\;\; dx = f'(t)\:dt \\
&= \int^{b}_{a}F(f(t))f'(t)\:dt, \;\; F(f(t)) = g(t) = y \\
&= \int^{\beta}_{\alpha}y\:dx\;\; \text{or} \int^{\alpha}_{\beta}y\:dx\\
&= \int^{2\pi}_{0} t\sin{t}\cdot (t\cos{t})'\:dt \\
&= \int^{2\pi}_{0}t\sin{t}\cdot (-t\sin{t}+\cos{t})\:dt \\
&= \int^{2\pi}_{0} -t^{2}\sin^{2}{t}+t\sin{t}\cos{t}\:dt
\end{align*}
Which results in a far more complex series of steps to the solution.

If we attempt this case without Green's theorem, we would need to evaluate:
\begin{align*}
\text{Area} &= \int^{2\pi}_{0} \sin^2{\theta}\cos{\theta}\cdot (\sin{\theta})'\:d\theta\;\;\; \text{(This is the same as above)}
\end{align*}
In both of these cases we can see that it is often beneficial for us to use Green's theorem instead of directly finding and computing the area inside a space through the formula for the area under a parametric curve. In fact, because the Green's theorem can be seen as a simpler representation of the different permutations of the original formula, all that it does is allow for more options in doing the integral such that a simpler version of the calculation can be done. It can be seen from the second example that the original formula also happens to be a convenient formula that can be obtained from Green's theorem.
Aside from the use cases of Green's theorem in Vector Calculus, a discrete version of Green's theorem seems to be an application in the discrete mathematics of theoretical computer science. A journal article takes a look at computing the area of a series of pixels in a two-dimensional plane for polyominoes.\footnote{Alain Chalifour, Fathallah Nouboud, Yvon Voisin, "Computation of the area in the discrete plane: Greens theorem revisited," J. Electron. Imag. 26(6) 063022 (5 December 2017) https://doi.org/10.1117/1.JEI.26.6.063022}
