Figure 2: sector OAB with OA = OB = 5 m and chord AB = 6 m; the segment between chord AB and the arc is shaded
Figure 2

In Figure 2 \(OAB\) is a sector of a circle radius 5 m. The chord \(AB\) is 6 m long.

(a) Show that \(\cos A\hat{O}B = \dfrac{7}{25}\). (2)
(b) Hence find the angle \(A\hat{O}B\) in radians, giving your answer to 3 decimal places. (1)
(c) Calculate the area of the sector \(OAB\). (2)
(d) Hence calculate the shaded area. (3)
