(a) The diagram shows a rectangle, OPQR, and a circle, centre O, which passes through Q.
OR = 6 cm and RQ = 8 cm.
OR = 6 cm and RQ = 8 cm.

Not to scale
Find the circumference of the circle.
Give your answer in terms of \(\pi\). [4]
(b) AOB is a sector of a circle, centre O and radius 8 cm.
Angle AOB = \(x^\circ\).
The arc, AB, has length \(2\pi\) cm.
Angle AOB = \(x^\circ\).
The arc, AB, has length \(2\pi\) cm.

Not to scale
Find the area of the sector.
Give your answer in terms of \(\pi\). [4]
