\end{figure} Figure 1 shows the curve \(C\) given by the parametric equations $$x = \frac { 5 } { \sqrt { 3 } } \sin t \quad y = 5 ( 1 - \cos t ) \quad 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2 \pi$$ The circle with centre at the origin \(O\) and with radius \(\frac { 5 \sqrt { 2 } } { 2 }\) meets the curve \(C\) at the points \(A\) and \(B\) as shown in Figure 1.
(a)Determine the value of \(t\) at the point \(B\) . The region \(R\) ,shown shaded in Figure 1,is bounded by the curve \(C\) and the circle.
(b)Determine the area of the region \(R\) .
