Can anyone provide the simple explanation?

The area of semi-parabola that written in the form of x=k(y^2) or vertical semi-parabola area formula is given by 2*ab/3 so the total area will be 2*(2*ab/3) so 160*80/3= 8533 unit^2
we can take a piece of area dxdy then multiply by x^2 then integrate finally apply gyration formula.
