4 A curve \(C\) has polar equation \(r ^ { 2 } = 8 \operatorname { cosec } 2 \theta\) for \(0 < \theta < \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\). Find a cartesian equation of \(C\). Sketch \(C\). Determine the exact area of the sector bounded by the arc of \(C\) between \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 6 } \pi\) and \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi\), the half-line \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 6 } \pi\) and the half-line \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi\).
