\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of a design for a triangular garden \(A B C\). The garden has sides \(B A\) with length \(10 \mathrm {~m} , B C\) with length 6 m and \(C A\) with length 12 m . The point \(D\) lies on \(A C\) such that \(B D\) is an arc of the circle centre \(A\), radius 10 m . A flowerbed \(B C D\) is shown shaded in Figure 2.
  1. Find the size of angle \(B A C\), in radians, to 4 decimal places.
  2. Find the perimeter of the flowerbed \(B C D\), in m , to 2 decimal places.
  3. Find the area of the flowerbed \(B C D\), in \(\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }\), to 2 decimal places.
