\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a sketch of the plan view of a platform.
The plan view of the platform consists of a sector \(D O C\) of a circle centre \(O\) joined to a sector \(A O B E A\) of a different circle, also with centre \(O\). Given that
  • angle \(A O B = 0.8\) radians
  • arc length \(C D = 9 \mathrm {~m}\)
  • \(D A : A O = 3 : 5\)
    1. show that \(A O = 7.03 \mathrm {~m}\) to 3 significant figures.
    2. Find the perimeter of the platform, in m , to 3 significant figures.
    3. Find the total area of the platform, giving your answer in \(\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }\) to the nearest whole number.
