Fig. 2 shows the sector \(O A B\) of a circle of radius \(r \mathrm {~cm}\). The area of the sector is \(15 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\) and \(\angle A O B = 1.5\) radians.
  1. Prove that \(r = 2 \sqrt { 5 }\).
  2. Find, in cm , the perimeter of the sector \(O A B\). The segment \(R\), shaded in Fig 1, is enclosed by the arc \(A B\) and the straight line \(A B\).
  3. Calculate, to 3 decimal places, the area of \(R\).
