\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a triangle \(X Y Z\) with \(X Y = 10 \mathrm {~cm} , Y Z = 16 \mathrm {~cm}\) and \(Z X = 12 \mathrm {~cm}\).
  1. Find the size of the angle \(Y X Z\), giving your answer in radians to 3 significant figures. The point \(A\) lies on the line \(X Y\) and the point \(B\) lies on the line \(X Z\) and \(A X = B X = 5 \mathrm {~cm} . A B\) is the arc of a circle with centre \(X\). The shaded region \(S\), shown in Figure 1, is bounded by the lines \(B Z , Z Y , Y A\) and the arc \(A B\). Find
  2. the perimeter of the shaded region to 3 significant figures,
  3. the area of the shaded region to 3 significant figures.
