The diagram shows a sector \(A O B\) of a circle, centre \(O\) and radius \(r\). Angle \(A O B\) is \(\theta\) radians. The point \(C\) lies on \(O B\), and \(A C\) is perpendicular to \(O B\). The area of the triangle \(A O C\) is equal to the area of the segment bounded by the chord \(A B\) and the \(\operatorname { arc } A B\).
- Show that \(\theta = \sin \theta ( 1 + \cos \theta )\).
The equation \(\theta = \sin \theta ( 1 + \cos \theta )\) has only one positive root.
- Use an iterative process based on this equation to find the value of the root correct to 3 significant figures. Use a starting value of 1 and show the result of each iteration. Use a change of sign to verify that the value you have found is correct to 3 significant figures.
