Archimedes proved that the area between a line and a parabola equals 4/3 the area of the inscribed triangle formed by the two pints of intersection and the point on the parabola midway between the x-values of those intersections. Find the area between the parabola defined by 64y= 144-x^2 and the line defined by 8y=3x-36.
