\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a design painted on the wall at a karting track. The sign consists of triangle \(A B C\) and two circular sectors of radius 2 metres and 1 metre with centres \(A\) and \(B\) respectively. Given that \(A B = 7 \mathrm {~m} , A C = 3 \mathrm {~m}\) and \(\angle A C B = 2.2\) radians,
  1. use the sine rule to find the size of \(\angle A B C\) in radians to 3 significant figures,
  2. show that \(\angle B A C = 0.588\) radians to 3 significant figures,
  3. find the area of triangle \(A B C\),
  4. find the area of the wall covered by the design.
