\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a sketch of the outline of the face of a ceiling fan viewed from below.
The fan consists of three identical sections congruent to \(O A B C D O\), shown in Figure 3, where
  • \(O A B O\) is a sector of a circle with centre \(O\) and radius 9 cm
  • \(O B C D O\) is a sector of a circle with centre \(O\) and radius 84 cm
  • angle \(A O D = \frac { 2 \pi } { 3 }\) radians
Given that the length of the arc \(A B\) is 15 cm ,
  1. show that the length of the arc \(C D\) is 35.9 cm to one decimal place. The face of the fan is modelled to be a flat surface.
    Find, according to the model,
  2. the perimeter of the face of the fan, giving your answer to the nearest cm,
  3. the surface area of the face of the fan. Give your answer to 3 significant figures and make your units clear.
