Two roots, two geometries

8 written marks

A proper sector has perimeter \(26\) cm and area \(36\text{ cm}^2\).

Part a · 2 marks

Show that its radius satisfies \(r^2-13r+36=0\).

Part b · 3 marks

Find every possible radius-angle pair and check that each is a proper sector.

Part c · 3 marks

The sector is now known to be minor. Identify the valid pair, and find its arc length and disk-area fraction.
