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 [itex]x=0[/itex], [itex]x=1[/itex], [itex]y=0[/itex], and the graph of [itex]y=f(x)[/itex]. Let [itex]f(x)\geq 0[/itex] on [itex]\[0,1\][/itex], and let the area of the region be 1. There is no unique solution for [itex]f(x)[/itex], as each of the following work:

[tex]f_1(x)=1[/tex]

[tex]f_2(x)=2x[/tex]

[tex]f_3(x)=\frac{\pi}{2}\sin(\pi x)[/tex]
 
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 [tex]\frac{1}{\pi }[/tex]th of the area formed by the rectangle whose one side is x and the other side is y(x)."

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

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?
