In the coordinate plane, the parabola $C: y = ax^2 + bx + c$ passes through the two points $\mathrm{P}(\cos\theta,\, \sin\theta)$ and $\mathrm{Q}(-\cos\theta,\, \sin\theta)$, and has a common tangent line with the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ at each of the points $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$. Assume $0^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ$.
(1) Express $a$, $b$, $c$ in terms of $s = \sin\theta$.
(2) Express the area $A$ of the region enclosed by the parabola $C$ and the $x$-axis in terms of $s$.
(3) Show that $A \geq \sqrt{3}$.
