Evaluating a Lebesgue integral over $mathbb{R}^2$
I am trying to evaluate the Lebesgue integral $int_Omega expleft(-sqrt{x^2 + y^2}right) ,dx,dy$, where $Omega = mathbb{R}^2$.
Initially I tried re-writing the integral as $int_Omega exp{|x|} ,dx$ and using the definition of the Lebesgue measure of a ball, I obtained $pi t^2$.
However, this isn't really helpful. How can I write this integral so that I get a "real" answer (i.e. not in terms of $t$)?

In polar coordinates, this is $int_0^{2pi} int_0^{infty} r e^{-r} , dr , dtheta$, which is easily computable. I'm sure this is a duplicate.

I am well aware that the first fold in the integral is $Gamma(2) = 1$. The difficulty for me here was using Lebesgue integration to determine the first fold in the integral.

The function is nice enough to use Riemann integration, using the comment of T Bongers.

In my case I have to use Lebesgue integration.

You know that if the Riemann integral over an interval $[a,b]$ exists then the Lebesgue integral also exists and is the same value as the Riemann integral. So when looking at $int_0^{infty} re^{-r} dr$ we have to be a bit careful. In the Riemann sense we can integrate $int_0^s re^{-r} dr$ for each $s$ so through a monotone convergence theorem argument on $int re^{-r} chi_{[0,s]}$ we see that the Lebesgue integral of $int_0^{infty} re^{-r} dr$ will be the same as the Riemann one.
