279
In the diagram, AB is an arc of a circle, centre O and radius r cm, and angle AOB = θ radians. The point X lies on OB and AX is perpendicular to OB.
(i) Show that the area, A cm², of the shaded region AXB is given by
\(A = \frac{1}{2}r^2(\theta - \sin \theta \cos \theta)\).
(ii) In the case where r = 12 and θ = \(\frac{1}{6}\pi\), find the perimeter of the shaded region AXB, leaving your answer in terms of \(\sqrt{3}\) and \(\pi\).
