22 The diagram shows a metal plate.

Metal plate made of sector OAB with OA = 8 cm and angle AOB = 65°, joined to triangle OCB with angle OCB = 35°; A, O and C on a straight line

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

The metal plate is made from a sector OAB of a circle, centre O, and a triangle OCB.

Angle \(AOB = 65^\circ\)   Angle \(OCB = 35^\circ\)
\(OA = OB = 8\) cm.
AOC is a straight line.

(a) Calculate the length of BC.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. (3)
(b) Calculate the total area of the metal plate.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. (4)
