Arc \(B C\) is part of a circle with centre \(X\) and radius 9 cm , where \(C X\) is perpendicular to \(A B\). Arc \(A C\) is part of a circle with centre \(Y\) and radius 11 cm .
  1. Show that angle \(X Y C = 0.9582\) radians, correct to 4 significant figures.
  2. Find the perimeter of \(A B C\).
