In geogebra; check the parametrization
In maple; get the area $0.057$

To go back from the parametrization to the implicit form (in M2)

What is the closed form area or at least a series representation? – Тyma Gaidash Oct 18 '21 at 20:48

1@TymaGaidash Excuse my ignorance, is this a usual request for the integration/area tags? I'm in it for the curves tag. The integral given can be approximated any way you want. The integral limits are also approximations, the exact values are
(-sqrt(((-23^(3/2))-(8*(4*23^(1/2)))/11+(294*23^(1/2))/11)/6+18/11)/2)+((-1)*23^(1/2))/4+3/4,sqrt(((-23^(3/2))-(8*(4*23^(1/2)))/11+(294*23^(1/2))/11)/6+18/11)/2+((-1)*23^(1/2))/4+3/4. – Jan-Magnus Økland Oct 19 '21 at 10:52 -
@Jan-MagnusØkland In this case it becomes a bit simpler because $y$ can be explicitly written in terms of $x$ for points over the curve. – PierreCarre Nov 02 '21 at 15:44
According to Wolfram, The equation for the blue curve is $$ y = \frac{\sqrt{-6 x^2-\sqrt{3} \sqrt{-(x-1)^2 \left(20 x^2-28 x-3\right)}+11 x+3}}{2 \sqrt{2}} := g_1(x) $$
and the equation for the orange curve is $$ y = \frac{\sqrt{-6 x^2+\sqrt{3} \sqrt{-(x-1)^2 \left(20 x^2-28 x-3\right)}+11 x+3}}{2 \sqrt{2}}:= g_2(x) $$
and the points in the smaller loop satisfy $1 \leq x \leq \frac 32$. Using Green's theorem with $Q=x, P = 0$, you have that
$$ \iint_D \underbrace{\left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}\right)}_{=1}dx dy = \int_{\gamma} P dx +Q dy $$
and so $$ Area = \int_{\gamma} x \, dy = \int_{\gamma_1} x dy + \int_{\gamma_2} x dy. $$
Where $\gamma_1$ corresponds to the blue curve, travelled from left to ro right and $\gamma_2$ to the orange curve, travelled from right to left. The line integrals over $\gamma_1, \gamma_2$ can be computed using the standard parametrizations associated to the expressions above ($y = g_1(x),\quad y=g_2(x)$):
$$\int_{\gamma_1} x dy = \int_1^{3/2} x g_1 '(x) dx \approx -0.146917$$
$$\int_{\gamma_2} x dy = -\int_1^{3/2} x g_2 '(x) dx \approx 0.204086$$
So, the estimate for the area would be 0.0571698, as pointed out in other answers. I did not try to compute the integrals exactly.
