Diagram NOT accurately drawn
The diagram shows a circle of radius 4 cm inside a square \(ABCD\) of side 8 cm.
\(P\) is a point of intersection of the circle and the diagonal \(AC\) of the square.
(a) Show that \(AP = 1.66\) cm, correct to 3 significant figures. (4)
(b) Calculate the length of \(DP\).
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. (3)
