How do i integrate $2{\sqrt{sin4x}}$?

So i calculated this to be done by the washer method, with an inner radius of $\sqrt{sin 4x}+1$ and an outer radius of 2. So the volume would be: $(\int{3- 2\sqrt{sin4x} - sin 4x} ) dx$ is this correct? From there i was stuck on the integral of the middle term...

$V = \pi \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{8}} 2^2 - (\sqrt{\sin(4x)} + 1)^2 \, dx$

get out your calculator to find $V$ ... I don't believe it was intended that you complete this evaluation by hand.

oh, so my initial calculation was correct, then? thanks..
