\end{figure} Figure 3 shows the design for a sign at a bird sanctuary.
The design consists of a kite \(O A B C\) joined to a sector \(O C X A\) of a circle centre \(O\).
In the design
  • \(O A = O C = 0.6 \mathrm {~m}\)
  • \(A B = C B = 1.4 \mathrm {~m}\)
  • Angle \(O A B =\) Angle \(O C B = 2\) radians
  • Angle \(A O C = \theta\) radians, as shown in Figure 3
Making your method clear,
  1. show that \(\theta = 1.64\) radians to 3 significant figures,
  2. find the perimeter of the sign, in metres to 2 significant figures,
  3. find the area of the sign, in \(\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }\) to 2 significant figures.
