\end{figure} Figure 1 shows the cross-sections of two drawer handles. Shape \(X\) is a rectangle \(A B C D\) joined to a semicircle with \(B C\) as diameter. The length \(A B = d \mathrm {~cm}\) and \(B C = 2 d \mathrm {~cm}\). Shape \(Y\) is a sector \(O P Q\) of a circle with centre \(O\) and radius \(2 d \mathrm {~cm}\).
Angle \(P O Q\) is \(\theta\) radians. Given that the areas of the shapes \(X\) and \(Y\) are equal,
  1. prove that \(\theta = 1 + \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi\). Using this value of \(\theta\), and given that \(d = 3\), find in terms of \(\pi\),
  2. the perimeter of shape \(X\),
  3. the perimeter of shape \(Y\).
  4. Hence find the difference, in mm, between the perimeters of shapes \(X\) and \(Y\). \section*{8.} \section*{Figure 2}

    Figure 2 shows part of the curve with equation $$y = x ^ { 3 } - 6 x ^ { 2 } + 9 x .$$ The curve touches the \(x\)-axis at \(A\) and has a maximum turning point at \(B\).
  5. Show that the equation of the curve may be written as $$y = x ( x - 3 ) ^ { 2 } ,$$ and hence write down the coordinates of \(A\).
  6. Find the coordinates of \(B\). The shaded region \(R\) is bounded by the curve and the \(x\)-axis.
  7. Find the area of \(R\).
