Here the curve is naturally expressed as x=g(y)=2yx = g(y) = 2y, and the boundaries are y=0y = 0 and y=4y = 4 (the mention of X-axis simply confirms the lower limit y=0y=0). Using A=∫cdx dyA = \int_c^d x\,dy,

A=∫042y dy=[y2]04=16−0=16A = \int_0^4 2y\,dy = \left[y^2\right]_0^4 = 16 - 0 = 16

This is again a right triangle, now with base 44 (along the Y-axis) and height 88 (the value of xx at y=4y=4); 12×4×8=16\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 8 = 16 agrees with the integral.
