The diagram shows a sector OXY of a circle centre O, radius 3cm and a sector OAB of a circle centre O, radius 8 cm. The point X lies on the line OA and the point Y lies on the line OB. The perimeter of the region XABYX is 15.5 cm. Find [Figure 9]

  1. (i)the angle AOB in radians,[3]
  2. (ii)the ratio of the area of the sector OXY to the area of the region XABYX in the form p : q, where p and q are integers.[4]
