The tangents to the circle at \(A\) and \(B\) meet at \(T\). The shaded region is bounded by the minor \(\operatorname { arc } A B\) and the lines \(A T\) and \(B T\). Angle \(A O B\) is \(2 \theta\) radians.
  1. In the case where the area of the sector \(A O B\) is the same as the area of the shaded region, show that \(\tan \theta = 2 \theta\).
  2. In the case where \(r = 8 \mathrm {~cm}\) and the length of the minor \(\operatorname { arc } A B\) is 19.2 cm , find the area of the shaded region.
