Paper 1Geometry

The point AA lies on the xx-axis with non-negative xx-coordinate, and the point BB lies on the yy-axis with non-negative yy-coordinate. The length ABAB is 66.

The point PP lies on the line segment ABAB, with AP:PB=1:2AP:PB=1:2. As AA and BB vary, PP traces a curve.

What is the area, to the right of x=2x=2, bounded by this curve, the xx-axis and the line x=2x=2?
