In the diagram, OAB is a sector of a circle with centre O and radius r. The point C on OB is such that angle ACO is a right angle. Angle AOB is α radians and is such that AC divides the sector into two regions of equal area.

(i) Show that \(\sin \alpha \cos \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \alpha\).

It is given that the solution of the equation in part (i) is \(\alpha = 0.9477\), correct to 4 decimal places.

(ii) Find the ratio perimeter of region OAC : perimeter of region ACB, giving your answer in the form k : 1, where k is given correct to 1 decimal place.

(iii) Find angle AOB in degrees.
