We need to find the area of the shaded region ABCD

ar(ABCD)=4ar(AOB)

Coordinates of points A and B are (0,1) and (1,0)

Equation of line through A and B is y=1-x

\\ar(AOB)=\int_{0}^{1}(1-x)dx\\ =[x-\frac{x^{2}}{2}]_{0}^{1}\\ =(1-\frac{1}{2})-0 \\=\frac{1}{2}\ units\\ ar(ABCD)=4ar(AOB)\\ =4\times \frac{1}{2}\\ =2\ units

The area bounded by the curve  \small |x|+|y|=1 is 2 units.
