The point \(C\) on \(O B\) is such that angle \(A C O\) is a right angle. Angle \(A O B\) is \(\alpha\) radians and is such that \(A C\) divides the sector into two regions of equal area.
  1. Show that \(\sin \alpha \cos \alpha = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \alpha\). It is given that the solution of the equation in part (i) is \(\alpha = 0.9477\), correct to 4 decimal places.
  2. Find the ratio perimeter of region \(O A C\) : perimeter of region \(A C B\), giving your answer in the form \(k : 1\), where \(k\) is given correct to 1 decimal place.
  3. Find angle \(A O B\) in degrees. \footnotetext{Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible.
