Edit: Quick, someone check my math. I did Pierce's question with his planar lamina and found the center of mass to be (sqrt(2), 6/5).

Well, there's no density function, so the question's actually unanswerable, as stated. If you assume a constant density function, that can't be the center of mass, since the y coordinate is way too high. The region being described is kind of a right-angled triangle (one edge is curved inwards), with the right angle at (2,0) and the other two vertices at (0,0) and (2,sqrt(2)) - based on that, your y coordinate is in the upper half of the triangle, which doesn't make sense.

I get a total area of (4 * sqrt(2)) / 3, and a center of mass of (6 / 5 , 3 / (4 * sqrt(2))) - which is the lower right quadrant of the triangle. That's at least the right quadrant. No idea if the coordinates are correct though.

Y'know this is probably the best time to ask now. Who the hell is Keith David anyway? [Aside from a giant NERRRRDDDD! :v:] I'm watching the SR2 let's plays and I saw Skippy Granola's LP of the third and I don't remember this dude anywhere in there.

He's the voice actor who plays Julius Little (leader of the Saints during SR1).
