\end{figure} Fig. 1 shows the sector \(A O B\) of a circle, with centre \(O\) and radius 6.5 cm , and \(\angle A O B = 0.8\) radians.
  1. Calculate, in \(\mathrm { cm } ^ { 2 }\), the area of the sector \(A O B\).
  2. Show that the length of the chord \(A B\) is 5.06 cm , to 3 significant figures. The segment \(R\), shaded in Fig. 1, is enclosed by the arc \(A B\) and the straight line \(A B\).
  3. Calculate, in cm , the perimeter of \(R\).
