\end{figure} Figure 2 shows the plan view of a design for a pond.
The design consists of a sector \(A O B X\) of a circle centre \(O\) joined to a quadrilateral \(A O B C\).
  • \(B C = 8 \mathrm {~m}\)
  • \(O A = O B = 3 \mathrm {~m}\)
  • angle \(A O B\) is \(\frac { 2 \pi } { 3 }\) radians
  • angle \(B C A\) is \(\frac { \pi } { 6 }\) radians
    1. Calculate (i) the exact area of the sector \(A O B X\),
      (ii) the exact perimeter of the sector \(A O B X\).
    2. Calculate the exact area of the triangle \(A O B\).
    3. Show that the length \(A B\) is \(3 \sqrt { 3 } \mathrm {~m}\).
    4. Find the total surface area of the pond. Give your answer in \(\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }\) correct to 2 significant figures.
