Integration — practice question

The sketch shows the curve given by $y = \sqrt{(1 + 3\cos^2(\tfrac{1}{2}x))}$ for $0 \le x \le \pi$. The region $R$ lies between the curve, the coordinate axes and the line $x = \pi$.
(i)[3]

Apply the trapezium rule with two intervals to estimate the area of $R$, and give the answer correct to $3$ significant figures.

(ii)[5]

The region $R$ is rotated fully about the $x$-axis. Without using a calculator, determine the exact volume of the solid formed.
