If you add in the area of the rectangle with length from 0 to 1 along x-axis and width from 0 to 1/2 along y-axis (area = 1/2) you will get pi/6. Another way to do the problem is to solve the original function for x in terms of y, then integrate along y from 0 to 1/2. The antiderivative turns out to be arcsin. desmos.com/calculator/2vdb2nm7nl
