First find the intersection points.

Looks like (0,0) and (4,5) are the two intersection points.
4y%5B1%5D%5E2=25x
y%5B1%5D%5E2=%2825%2F4%29x
y%5B1%5D=%285%2F2%29sqrt%28x%29
and
16y%5B2%5D=5x%5E2
y%5B2%5D=%285%2F16%29x%5E2
So now integrate from x=0 to x=4,
A=int%28%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%2Cdx%2C0%2C4%29




int%28%28%285%2F2%29sqrt%28x%29-%285%2F16%29x%5E2%29%2Cdx%2C0%2C4%29=40%2F3-20%2F3
int%28%28%285%2F2%29sqrt%28x%29-%285%2F16%29x%5E2%29%2Cdx%2C0%2C4%29=20%2F3
