The length of the chord \(A B\) is 12 cm . The line \(O X\) passes through \(M\), the mid-point of \(A B\), and \(O X\) is perpendicular to \(A B\). The shaded region is bounded by the chord \(A B\) and by the arc of a circle with centre \(X\) and radius \(X A\).
  1. Show that angle \(A X B\) is 2.498 radians, correct to 3 decimal places.
  2. Find the perimeter of the shaded region.
  3. Find the area of the shaded region.
