1. The area of the region enclosed between two curves y = f(x), y = g(x) and the lines x = a, x = b is given by the formula,

     Area =\int_{a}^{b} [f(x)-g(x)] \ dx, where, f(x) ≥ g(x) in [a, b]

2. If f(x) ≥ g(x) in [a, c] and f(x) ≤ g(x) in [c, b], a < c < b, then

    Area = \int_{a}^{c} [f(x)-g(x)] \ dx+\int_{c}^{b} [g(x)-f(x)] \ dx.
