\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a circle of radius \(r\) and centre \(O\) in which \(A D\) is a diameter.
The points \(B\) and \(C\) lie on the circle such that \(O B\) and \(O C\) are arcs of circles of radius \(r\) with centres \(A\) and \(D\) respectively. Show that the area of the shaded region \(O B C\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 6 } r ^ { 2 } ( 3 \sqrt { 3 } - \pi )\).
