The length of the arc of the sector is 12 cm and the area of the sector is \(36 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\) (see diagram).
  1. Write down two equations involving \(r\) and \(\theta\).
  2. Hence show that \(r = 6\), and state the value of \(\theta\).
  3. Find the area of the segment bounded by the arc \(A B\) and the chord \(A B\).
