\end{figure} Figure 1 shows part of the curve with equation \(y = 2 \cosh \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } x \right)\). The points \(A\) and \(B\) lie on the curve and have \(x\)-coordinates \(- \ln 2\) and \(\ln 2\) respectively. The arc of the curve joining \(A\) and \(B\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis. Find the exact area of the curved surface area formed.
