SUMMARY
The volume of the set $E$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$ consists of all real 4-tuples $(a, b, c, d)$ satisfying the inequality $(ax+by)^2+(cx+dy)^2 \le x^2+y^2$ for all $x, y \in \mathbb{R}$. This condition defines a geometric constraint that can be interpreted in terms of linear transformations and their effects on the unit circle in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The volume of $E$ can be computed using techniques from multivariable calculus and linear algebra, specifically involving the properties of norms and quadratic forms.
