\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve with polar equation $$r = 2 \sqrt { \sinh \theta + \cosh \theta } \quad 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \pi$$ The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the initial line, the curve and the line with equation \(\theta = \pi\) Use algebraic integration to determine the exact area of \(R\) giving your answer in the form \(p \mathrm { e } ^ { q } - r\) where \(p , q\) and \(r\) are real numbers to be found.
