This solution is an outline.

δ = x = r cos θ . I 0 = D r 2 δ r d r d θ = \large{\delta =|x|=r|\cos { \theta } |.{ \quad I }_{ 0 }=\int { \int _{ D }^{ }{ { r }^{ 2 }\delta \quad rdrd\theta } } =}

0 2 π 0 1 r 2 r cos θ r d r d θ = 0 π 2 0 1 r 4 cos θ d r d θ = 4 0 π 2 1 5 cos θ d θ = 4 5 \large{\int _{ 0 }^{ 2\pi }{ \int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { r }^{ 2 }|r\cos { \theta } |rdrd\theta } } =\int _{ 0 }^{ \frac { \pi }{ 2 } }{ \int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { r }^{ 4 }\cos { \theta } drd\theta } } =4\int _{ 0 }^{ \frac { \pi }{ 2 } }{ \frac { 1 }{ 5 } \cos { \theta } d\theta } =\frac { 4 }{ 5 } }
