\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of two curves \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\) with polar equations $$\begin{array} { l l } C _ { 1 } : r = ( 1 + \sin \theta ) & 0 \leqslant \theta < 2 \pi
C _ { 2 } : r = 3 ( 1 - \sin \theta ) & 0 \leqslant \theta < 2 \pi \end{array}$$ The region \(R\) lies inside \(C _ { 1 }\) and outside \(C _ { 2 }\) and is shown shaded in Figure 1.
Show that the area of \(R\) is $$p \sqrt { 3 } - q \pi$$ where \(p\) and \(q\) are integers to be determined.
