Answer
View full question & answer→The area of the curve bounded with $x$-axis $=\int_a^b y d x$
$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Therefore required area }
=\int_0^4 m x d x \\
=m \int_0^4 x d x=m\left(\frac{x^2}{2}\right)_0^4 \\
=\frac{m}{2}\left(4^2-0\right)=\frac{16 m}{2} \\
=8 m \text { square units. }
\end{aligned}
