The lines x=0x = 0, x=5x = 5, y=0y = 0, y=4y = 4 enclose a rectangle of width 55 and height 44. Using the area-under-a-curve formula with the "curve" being the constant line y=4y = 4,

A=∫05y dx=∫054 dx=[4x]05=20A = \int_0^5 y\,dx = \int_0^5 4\,dx = \left[4x\right]_0^5 = 20

This matches the elementary formula (length ×\times breadth) for a rectangle, 5×4=205 \times 4 = 20.
