\end{figure} An emblem, as shown in Figure 1, consists of a triangle \(A B C\) joined to a sector \(C B D\) of a circle with radius 4 cm and centre \(B\). The points \(A , B\) and \(D\) lie on a straight line with \(A B = 5 \mathrm {~cm}\) and \(B D = 4 \mathrm {~cm}\). Angle \(B A C = 0.6\) radians and \(A C\) is the longest side of the triangle \(A B C\).
  1. Show that angle \(A B C = 1.76\) radians, correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Find the area of the emblem.
