- (a) Write down the exact value of \(\cos \frac { \pi } { 6 }\).
The finite region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(y = \cos ^ { 2 } x\), where \(x\) is measured in radians, the positive coordinate axes and the line \(x = \frac { \pi } { 3 }\).
(b) Use the trapezium rule with three equally-spaced ordinates to estimate the area of \(R\), giving your answer to 3 significant figures.
The finite region \(S\) is bounded by the curve \(y = \sin ^ { 2 } x\), where \(x\) is measured in radians, the positive coordinate axes and the line \(x = \frac { \pi } { 3 }\).
(c) Using your answer to part (b), find an estimate for the area of \(S\).
