Figure 2: circle C centre O with tangents at P and Q meeting at R on the negative y-axis, and the region PQR between the tangents and the circle shaded
Figure 2

Figure 2 shows a circle \(C\) with centre \(O\) and radius 5

(a) Write down the cartesian equation of \(C\). (1)

The points \(P(-3, -4)\) and \(Q(3, -4)\) lie on \(C\).

(b) Show that the tangent to \(C\) at the point \(Q\) has equation\[3x - 4y = 25\] (4)
(c) Show that, to 3 decimal places, angle \(POQ\) is 1.287 radians. (2)

The tangent to \(C\) at \(P\) and the tangent to \(C\) at \(Q\) intersect on the \(y\)-axis at the point \(R\).

(d) Find the area of the shaded region \(PQR\) shown in Figure 2. (4)
