Making your method clear,
(a) find the size of angle OAB, giving your answer in radians to 4 significant figures,
(3)
(b) find the area of triangle OAB, in cm2, giving your answer to 3 significant figures.
(2)
Given that the ratio of the area of sector OBC to the area of triangle OAB is 3 : 2
(c) show that angle BOC is 0.462 radians to 3 significant figures.
