Change of Variables & the Jacobian · Medium problem

A solar panel is shaped like the ellipse x216+y29≤1\dfrac{x^2}{16}+\dfrac{y^2}{9}\le1 (meters). Using the substitution x=4ux=4u, y=3vy=3v (which maps the unit disk to the ellipse, with Jacobian 1212), find the average value of x2+y2x^2+y^2 over the panel.
