Generally.

Area = the definite integration from a to b [ f(x) - g(X)]dx

Say you have two functions( y = e^x and y = x) and you want to find the area between them on an interval ( say 1 to 3 ) So you set the top function(e^x) subtracting the bottom function(x) and integrate them, Insert the values, b - a in the integrated functions and get the value of the area.
