Prove that the curves
and
divide the area of square bounded by
and
into three equal parts.
Given: curves are y2 = 4x and x2 = 4y
Let three areas divided by curves be A1, A2, A3
A1, A2, A3 denote areas OSPQO, OSPTO and OTPRO respectively
To prove: the given curves divide the area of square bounded by x = 0, x = 4, y = 4 and y = 0 into three equal parts i.e. A1= A2= A3
