\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{1a4ddaa9-1ec2-4138-bfcb-a482fe6c942f-2_358_618_1082_762} The diagram shows a sector of a circle with radius \(r \mathrm {~cm}\) and centre \(O\). The chord \(A B\) divides the sector into a triangle \(A O B\) and a segment \(A X B\). Angle \(A O B\) is \(\theta\) radians.
  1. In the case where the areas of the triangle \(A O B\) and the segment \(A X B\) are equal, find the value of the constant \(p\) for which \(\theta = p \sin \theta\).
  2. In the case where \(r = 8\) and \(\theta = 2.4\), find the perimeter of the segment \(A X B\).
