As we learnt in

Introduction of area under the curve -

The area between the curve y= f(x),x axis and two ordinates at the point  x=a\, and \,x= b\left ( b>a \right ) is given by

A= \int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=\int_{a}^{b}ydx

- wherein

 

 y=(x-1) and y=3-(x)

Area=difference of area of \Delta S

=ar\Delta ABC-ar\Delta ADE-ar\Delta EFC

=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 3-\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 2-\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1

=9 - 4 - 1 = 4 sq units
