\end{figure} Figure 5 shows a sketch of the curve with parametric equations $$x = 3 \cos 2 t , \quad y = 2 \tan t , \quad 0 \leq t \leq \frac { \pi } { 4 } .$$ The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 5, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis.
  1. Show that the area of \(R\) is given $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 4 } } 24 \sin ^ { 2 } t \mathrm {~d} t$$
  2. Hence, using algebraic integration, find the exact area of \(R\).
