10. The shaded part of the diagram below shows the top surface of an engine part.

Shaded region between two arcs centred at O: outer major arc from A round to D and inner major arc from B round to C; A, B, O lie on a vertical line (BO dashed) and D, C, O on a line sloping down to the left (CO dashed)

Diagram not drawn to scale

The measurements taken by a motor engineer are:

  • reflex angle \(B\hat{O}C = 240^\circ\),
  • AO = OD = 6 cm,
  • BO = OC = 3 cm.
(a)

The length of the major arc AD is to be sealed by attaching a flexible anti-rust strip.
Each flexible anti-rust strip is of length 35 cm.
What length of the anti-rust strip will be left over after sealing the length of the major arc AD?
Give your answer in terms of \(\pi\), in its simplest form. [3]

Length of anti-rust strip left over = …………… cm

(b)

The top surface of the engine part is to be painted.
The paint costs 15p per cm2.

(i)

Calculate the cost of the paint to be used.
Give your answer in terms of \(\pi\), in its simplest form. [4]

(ii)

Using \(\pi = 3\), calculate how much it costs to paint the top surface of 20 engine parts.
Give your answer in pounds. [1]

Paint cost is £ ……………
