We have to find the area of the pink region. As we all know this can be evaluated using limiting its Riemann sum, of which its a standard example. However I want to know if this can be done without using calculus, with directly using geometry. I think it would be very interesting challenge, but I am not able to think of a way out.
It depends a little bit what you mean by geometry. If you can see "geometrically" that stretching the function horizontally by a factor of $2$ should double the value of the integral, and if you can see "geometrically" that the integral of a sum of two functions should be the sum of the integrals, then there is such a proof, and I spell it out here:
