The integral describes the area of a semicircle of radius k k . The given expression is then equal to

1 π k = 1 20 π k 2 2 = 1 2 k = 1 20 k 2 = 1 2 × 20 × ( 20 + 1 ) × ( 2 × 20 + 1 ) 6 = 1435 \displaystyle \dfrac{1}{\pi} \sum_{k=1}^{20} \dfrac{\pi k^{2}}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} \sum_{k=1}^{20} k^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{20 \times (20 + 1) \times (2 \times 20 + 1)}{6} = \boxed{1435} .
