Q25 of 26 Page 1

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





Now,















Now,








This shows that the given curves divide the area of square bounded by x = 0, x = 4, y = 4 and y = 0 into three equal parts.


Hence Proved
