\end{figure} Figure 1 shows the curves given by the polar equations $$r = 2 , \quad 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 2 }$$ and \(\quad r = 1.5 + \sin 3 \theta , \quad 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 2 }\).
  1. Find the coordinates of the points where the curves intersect. The region \(S\), between the curves, for which \(r > 2\) and for which \(r < ( 1.5 + \sin 3 \theta )\), is shown shaded in Figure 1.
  2. Find, by integration, the area of the shaded region \(S\), giving your answer in the form \(a \pi + b \sqrt { 3 }\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are simplified fractions. $$\left[ \begin{array} { l l l } \text { Leave }
