| Topic | Radians, Arc Length and Sector Area |
| Type | Sector with attached triangle |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.8 This is a straightforward multi-part question testing standard formulas for sector area (A = ½r²θ), triangle area (½absinC), and arc length (rθ). Part (a) is simple rearrangement, while parts (b)(i) and (b)(ii) require applying memorized formulas with minimal problem-solving. Easier than average for A-level. |
| Spec | 1.05c Area of triangle: using 1/2 ab sin(C)1.05d Radians: arc length s=r*theta and sector area A=1/2 r^2 theta |

Figure 1 shows the design for a badge.\\
The design consists of two congruent triangles, $A O C$ and $B O C$, joined to a sector $A O B$ of a circle centre $O$.
\begin{itemize}
\item Angle $A O B = \alpha$
\item $A O = O B = 3 \mathrm {~cm}$
\item $O C = 5 \mathrm {~cm}$
\end{itemize}
Given that the area of sector $A O B$ is $7.2 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }$
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item show that $\alpha = 1.6$ radians.
\item Hence find
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item the area of the badge, giving your answer in $\mathrm { cm } ^ { 2 }$ to 2 significant figures,
\item the perimeter of the badge, giving your answer in cm to one decimal place.
