Calculate the area of the region bounded by the parabolas y2 = 6x and x2 =6y.
The given equations are,
y2 = 6x
![]()
And x2 = 6y.
![]()
When y = 0 then x = 0,
Or ![]()
Putting x value on y2 = 6x,
y2 = 6![]()
Or
6![]()
Or ![]()
Or y = 6
When y = 0 then x = 0,
And When y = 6 then x = 6,
On solving these two equations, we get point of intersections.
The points are O (0,0) and A(6,6). These are shown in the graph below

Now the bounded area is the required area to be calculated, Hence,
Bounded Area, A = [Area between the curve (i) and x axis from 0 to 6] - [Area between the curve (ii) and x axis from 0 to 6]


On integrating the above definite integration,

Area of the region bounded by the parabolas y2 = 6x and x2 = 6y is 12sq. units.
