2 The diagram shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) whose polar equation is \(r = 1 + \tan \theta\). The point \(O\) is the pole.

  1. Show that the area of the region bounded by the curve \(C\) and the lines \(O P\) and \(O Q\) is $$\frac { 1 } { 2 } \sqrt { 3 } + \ln 2$$ (6 marks)
  2. Hence find the area of the shaded region bounded by the line \(P Q\) and the arc \(P Q\) of \(C\).
