Just to go into more detail than I did in our PMs and the comments on your last question...

You have to keep in mind that the limits of integration, the interval \left(-1,-\dfrac{\sqrt2}2\right), only apply to the original variable of integration (y).

When you make the substitution y=\dfrac12\sec t, you not only change the variable but also its domain. To find out what the new domain is is a matter of plugging in every value in the y-interval into the substitution relation to find the new t-interval domain for the new variable (t).

After replacing y and the differential \mathrm dy with the new variable t and differential \mathrm dt, you saw that you could reduce the integral to -1. This is a continuous function, so the new domain can be constructed just by considering the endpoints of the y-interval and transforming them into the t-domain.

When y=-1, you have -1=\dfrac12\sec t\implies t=\arcsec(-2)=\dfrac{2\pi}3.

When y=-\dfrac{\sqrt2}2, you have -\dfrac{\sqrt2}2=\dfrac12\sec t\implies t=\arcsec(-\sqrt2)=\dfrac{3\pi}4.

Geometrically, this substitution allows you to transform the area as in the image below. Naturally it's a lot easier to find the area under the curve in the second graph than it is in the first.

A straight angle is equal to 180 degrees. 180-80=100. 100-60=40. so y=40. vertical angles are congruent so x=40 degrees.
