Answer

$2\pi$

Work Step by Step

Conversion of polar coordinates and Cartesian coordinates are as follows: a)$r^2=x^2+y^2 \implies r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}$ b) $\tan \theta =\dfrac{y}{x} \implies \theta =\tan^{-1} (\dfrac{y}{x})$ c) $x=r \cos \theta$ d) $y=r \sin \theta$ Here, $(x,y)=(1,1)$ This suggests the integral is as follows: $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \int_0^{2} (r^2)r dr d\theta =\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \int_0^{2} r^3 dr d\theta $ or, $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \int_0^{2} \dfrac{r^4}{4} d\theta=[\dfrac{2^4}{4}\theta]_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}=2\pi$
