The point Z is on the circumference such that angle \(X O Z = 1.3\) radians. The shaded region enclosed by the chord \(X Z\), the arc \(Z Y\) and the diameter \(X Y\) is a template for a badge. Find, giving each answer to 3 significant figures,
    1. the length of the chord \(X Z\),
    2. the perimeter of the template \(X Z Y X\),
    3. the area of the template.

    \end{figure} Diagram not drawn to scale Figure 2 shows the design for a company logo. The design consists of a triangle \(A B E\) joined to a sector \(B C D E\) of a circle with radius 6 cm and centre \(E\). The line \(A E\) is perpendicular to the line \(D E\) and the length of \(A E\) is 9 cm . The size of angle \(D E B\) is 3.5 radians, as shown in Figure 2.
    1. Find the length of the arc BCD. Find, to one decimal place,
    2. the perimeter of the logo,
    3. the area of the logo.
