The diagram shows a circle, centre O, radius 12cm, and a rectangle ABCD. The diagonals AC and BD intersect at O. The sides AB and AD of the rectangle have lengths 6cm and 4cm respectively. The points M and N lie on the circumference of the circle such that MAC and NDB are straight lines. [Figure 9.1]

  1. (a)Show that angle AOD is 1.176 radians correct to 3 decimal places.[2]
  2. (b)Find the perimeter of the shaded region.[4]
  3. (c)Find the area of the shaded region.[3]
