The diagram shows a circle with centre \(O\) and radius 10 cm . The chord \(A B\) divides the circle into two regions whose areas are in the ratio \(1 : 4\) and it is required to find the length of \(A B\). The angle \(A O B\) is \(\theta\) radians.
- Show that \(\theta = \frac { 2 } { 5 } \pi + \sin \theta\).
- Showing all your working, use an iterative formula, based on the equation in part (i), with an initial value of 2.1 , to find \(\theta\) correct to 2 decimal places. Hence find the length of \(A B\) in centimetres correct to 1 decimal place.
