\end{figure} Diagram NOT accurately drawn Figure 1 shows the plan view for the design of a stage.
The design consists of a sector \(O B C\) of a circle, with centre \(O\), joined to two congruent triangles \(O A B\) and \(O D C\). Given that
  • angle \(B O C = 2.4\) radians
  • area of sector \(B O C = 40 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\)
  • \(A O D\) is a straight line of length 12.5 m
    1. find the radius of the sector, giving your answer, in m , to 2 decimal places,
    2. find the size of angle \(A O B\), in radians, to 2 decimal places.
Hence find
  • the total area of the stage, giving your answer, in \(\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }\), to one decimal place,
  • the total perimeter of the stage, giving your answer, in m , to one decimal place.
