\end{figure} The shape shown in Figure 1 is a pattern for a pendant. It consists of a sector \(O A B\) of a circle centre \(O\), of radius 6 cm , and angle \(A O B = \frac { \pi } { 3 }\). The circle \(C\), inside the sector, touches the two straight edges, \(O A\) and \(O B\), and the \(\operatorname { arc } A B\) as shown. Find
  1. the area of the sector \(O A B\),
  2. the radius of the circle \(C\). The region outside the circle \(C\) and inside the sector \(O A B\) is shown shaded in Figure 1.
  3. Find the area of the shaded region.
