This is part 2 of a question... I already solved part 1 but I can't seem to be able to solve this one.
Interpret the measure √2 μ geometrically?

Any ideas... This is from real analysis class

What is $$\displaystyle \displaystyle \mu$$ representing?

λf=∫(from R to Riemann) f(tt)dt for all f in C_c(R^2).

Re: Measure.... Geometrically?

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that this question could be answered much more easily (that is, intuitively) by thinking about the corresponding Riemann integral. It's a fact that if the function is Riemann integrable, then
$$\int_{ \mathbb{R}^{2}} f \, dA = \int_{ \mathbb{R}^{2}} f \, d\mu.$$
So take an example, and make $f$ really simple, say $f=1$. Then your integral is simply computing area. Your new measure, $\sqrt{2} \mu$, simply multiplies your area by $\sqrt{2}$, since constants pull out of integrals (at least, they pull out of Riemann and Lebesgue integrals). What is going on geometrically for that to happen?
