Problem 269
269

In the diagram, OAB is an isosceles triangle with OA = OB and angle AOB = 2\theta radians. Arc PST has centre O and radius r, and the line ASB is a tangent to the arc PST at S.

(i) Find the total area of the shaded regions in terms of r and \(\theta\).

(ii) In the case where \(\theta = \frac{1}{3}\pi\) and \(r = 6\), find the total perimeter of the shaded regions, leaving your answer in terms of \(\sqrt{3}\) and \(\pi\).

The diagram shows two circles, \(C_1\) and \(C_2\), touching at the point \(T\). Circle \(C_1\) has centre \(P\) and radius 8 cm; circle \(C_2\) has centre \(Q\) and radius 2 cm. Points \(R\) and \(S\) lie on \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) respectively, and \(RS\) is a tangent to both circles.

(i) Show that \(RS = 8\) cm.

(ii) Find angle \(RPQ\) in radians correct to 4 significant figures.

(iii) Find the area of the shaded region.
