Compute $int int(a^2-x^2) dx dy$ taken over half the circle $x^2+y^2=a^2$ in the positive quadrant.

Since it is given as positive quadrant, I took the limits as follows,
w.r.t. x from 0 to a & w.r.t y from 0 to root of $$(a^2-x^2)$$.
I proceeded with that & finally substituted $x=asin(theta)$. The answer which I got was $(3(a^4)π)/16$. But the actual answer is $(3a^4)/8$. I don't know where I am making a mistake.

          The question refers to a half circle and you are integrating over a quarter of a circle. Perhaps the intended region is ${(x,y):x geq 0, x^{2}+y^{2} leq 1$ in which case $y$ will vary from $-sqrt {a^{2}-x^{2}}$ to $sqrt {a^{2}-x^{2}}$.

            $$intlimits_{x=0}^a intlimits_{y=0}^sqrt{a^2-x^2} (a^2 -x^2) dy dx = frac{3 pi a^4}{16}$$
