The area of the region R enclosed by the semiellipse y = (b/a)a 2 - x 2

Question:

The area of the region R enclosed by the semiellipse y = (b/a)√a2 - x2 and the x-axis is (1/2)πab, and the volume of the ellipsoid generated by revolving R about the x-axis is (4/3)πab2. Find the centroid of R. Notice that the location is independent of a.
