How do I go about showing a field is intermediate between two others?

For example I'm trying to do this question:

But first of all I'm trying to find the degree of the extension [F:Q[i.rt(6)]]

How can I show that Q[i.rt(6)] is an intermediate field?

It's obviously contains Q because, well it contains Q. It's contained in \mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2}-i\sqrt{3}] because (\sqrt{2}-i\sqrt{3})^2=2-2i\sqrt{6}-3 (try to work out the details if that doesn't make it obvious).
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
