\end{figure} Diagram NOT drawn to scale Figure 1 shows the plan for a pond and platform. The platform is shown shaded in the figure and is labelled \(A B C D\). The pond and platform together form a circle of radius 22 m with centre \(O\).
\(O A\) and \(O D\) are radii of the circle. Point \(B\) lies on \(O A\) such that the length of \(O B\) is 10 m and point \(C\) lies on \(O D\) such that the length of \(O C\) is 10 m . The length of \(B C\) is 15 m . The platform is bounded by the arc \(A D\) of the circle, and the straight lines \(A B , B C\) and \(C D\). Find
  1. the size of the angle \(B O C\), giving your answer in radians to 3 decimal places,
  2. the perimeter of the platform to 3 significant figures,
  3. the area of the platform to 3 significant figures.
