If we know area under the curve, are we able to find the curve using Abel integral equations?

Clearly not. Let a region be bounded by the lines x=0, x=1, y=0, and the graph of y=f(x). Let f(x)\geq 0 on \[0,1\], and let the area of the region be 1. There is no unique solution for f(x), as each of the following work:

f_1(x)=1

f_2(x)=2x

f_3(x)=\frac{\pi}{2}\sin(\pi x)
 
Does first type Volterra equation work?
 
Did you comprehend my answer to your first question at all?
 
Question:"Find the curve (or the function) y(x) for which the area under the curve is equal
to \frac{1}{\pi }th of the area formed by the rectangle whose one side is x and the other side is y(x)."

I think \int _a^xy(t)dt=\frac{1}{\pi }y(x).x

give me the curve.

You're dealing with a rectangle that has only two sides, one of which is not necessarily a straight line segment? Seriously?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
