area △AOC = (1/2).2a.a^2 =a^3   area parabolic=(2/3).2a.a^2 =(4/3)a^3   lim_(a→0)  (a^3 /(((4/3)a^3 ))) = (3/4)

$$\mathrm{area}\:\bigtriangleup\mathrm{AOC}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}.\mathrm{2a}.\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{area}\:\mathrm{parabolic}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}.\mathrm{2a}.\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\underset{\mathrm{a}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\left(\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{3}} \right)}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$
