\end{figure} The triangle \(X Y Z\) in Figure 1 has \(X Y = 6 \mathrm {~cm} , Y Z = 9 \mathrm {~cm} , Z X = 4 \mathrm {~cm}\) and angle \(Z X Y = \alpha\). The point \(W\) lies on the line \(X Y\). The circular arc \(Z W\), in Figure 1 is a major arc of the circle with centre \(X\) and radius 4 cm .
  1. Show that, to 3 significant figures, \(\alpha = 2.22\) radians.
  2. Find the area, in \(\mathrm { cm } ^ { 2 }\), of the major sector \(X Z W X\). The region enclosed by the major arc \(Z W\) of the circle and the lines \(W Y\) and \(Y Z\) is shown shaded in Figure 1. Calculate
  3. the area of this shaded region,
  4. the perimeter \(Z W Y Z\) of this shaded region.
