Geometry – Average Distance Between Two Points in a Circular Disk

averagecirclesgeometry

How can I find an average distance between two points lying inside a circular disk of a certain radius?

I wonder if there is any other way except of using a Monte Carlo method?

See the answer to this question. The expected distance is $$ d= {128 r\over 45\pi}. $$

Here is another demonstration of this result.
