In triangle \(B C D , B D = 8 \mathrm {~cm} , C D = 11 \mathrm {~cm}\) and angle \(C B D = 65 ^ { \circ }\). The points \(E\) and \(D\) are joined by an arc of a circle with centre \(B\) and radius 8 cm .
  1. Find angle \(B C D\).
  2. (a) Show that angle \(E B D\) is 0.873 radians, correct to 3 significant figures.
    (b) Hence find the area of the shaded segment bounded by the chord \(E D\) and the arc \(E D\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
