Figure 1: sector OAB with radius 6 cm and angle pi/3 at O, containing an inscribed circle C touching OA, OB and the arc AB; the region outside C shaded
Figure 1

The shape shown in Figure 1 is a pattern for a pendant. It consists of a sector \(OAB\) of a circle centre \(O\), of radius 6 cm, and angle \(AOB = \dfrac{\pi}{3}\). The circle \(C\), inside the sector, touches the two straight edges, \(OA\) and \(OB\), and the arc \(AB\) as shown.

Find

(a) the area of the sector \(OAB\), (2)
(b) the radius of the circle \(C\). (3)

The region outside the circle \(C\) and inside the sector \(OAB\) is shown shaded in Figure 1.

(c) Find the area of the shaded region. (2)
