Find the area of the region. Please show work so I can understand.

The curves bound a small triangular region with vertices (left-to-right) at

(3/4,3) (1,5/2) (36/25,3)

so, using vertical strips of width dx, we have to divide the area into two regions, divided at x=3/4. The area is

โˆซ[3/4,1] 3-(9-4x)/2 dx + โˆซ[1,36/25] 3-5โˆšx/2 dx

Using horizontal strips is a bit easier, since the area has an easier boundary. The strips have length equal to the difference between the two curves' x-coordinates:

โˆซ[36/25,3] ((2y/5)^2 - (9-2y)/4) dy

as always, check my algebra
