    Why do we integrate a function to find the area under it?

    Why, when finding the area by definite integral, we have to find the indefinite integral first? As I understand, to find the area of under the curve, all we need is the equation of the curve. On the other hand, the indefinite integral helps us to find the original function from its derivative...
