This is not very tough dear.. try using symmetry.. then take small sections.. along the line of symmetry

I hope this hint suffices?

btw a user on our site.. skygirl has solved this one.. and wud upload the solution.. so u could wait for that.. but i suggest that you should try solving this one on ur own!

2.)see the two similar triangles.
3.)integrate along the height.
4.)sorry for the dirty pic. :(
