The diagram shows the curve \(y = x^2 \sqrt{1-x^2}\) for \(x \geq 0\) and its maximum point \(M\).

(i) Find the exact value of the \(x\)-coordinate of \(M\).

(ii) Show, by means of the substitution \(x = \sin \theta\), that the area \(A\) of the shaded region between the curve and the \(x\)-axis is given by

\(A = \frac{1}{4} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^2 2\theta \ d\theta.\)

(iii) Hence obtain the exact value of \(A\).
