For a one-to-one continuously differentiable change of variables with nonzero Jacobian determinant in the interior, the change of variables formula is
The absolute value is necessary even if the transformation reverses orientation.
The original region is the first-quadrant area between the hyperbola and circle, above the horizontal-axis segment. More explicitly,
Its vertices are , and . Under the squared-radius difference substitution, the inverse is
and the image is the triangle , with vertices .

The forward Jacobian determinant is
It is nonzero in the interior; the zero on lies on a measure-zero boundary, so the integral formula applies by taking interior limits. Since and , the inverse-Jacobian factor cancels , giving
Integrating in first and then ,
Therefore
