\end{figure}
  1. Calculate the bearing of B from C , giving your answer to the nearest \(0.1 ^ { \circ }\).
  2. Calculate the area of the village green. The road AB is replaced by a new road, as shown in Fig. 11.2. The village green is extended up to the new road. \begin{figure}[h]

    \end{figure} The new road is an arc of a circle with centre O and radius 130 m .
  3. (A) Show that angle AOB is 1.63 radians, correct to 3 significant figures.
    (B) Show that the area of land added to the village green is \(5300 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\) correct to 2 significant figures.
