TopicRadians, Arc Length and Sector Area

3 The diagram shows a sector \(O A B\) of a circle with centre \(O\) and radius 20 cm . The angle between the radii \(O A\) and \(O B\) is \(\theta\) radians.
\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{ad574bde-3bf1-45be-a454-9c723088b357-3_453_499_429_804} The length of the \(\operatorname { arc } A B\) is 28 cm .
  1. Show that \(\theta = 1.4\).
  2. Find the area of the sector \(O A B\).
  3. The point \(D\) lies on \(O A\). The region bounded by the line \(B D\), the line \(D A\) and the arc \(A B\) is shaded.
