The shaded region is bounded by the curve, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(y = 2\).
  1. Find the area of the shaded region.
  2. Find the volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis. Tangents are drawn to the curve at the points \(P\) and \(Q\).
  3. Find the acute angle, in degrees correct to 1 decimal place, between the two tangents.
