Question:

In the diagram OAB is a sector of a circle, centre O and radius R cm, and ∠AOB = 2θ radians. A circle, centre C and radius r cm, touches the arc AB at T, and touches OA and OB at D and E respectively, as shown.

a. Write down, in terms of R and r, the length of OC.

b. Using △OCE, show that R sin θ = r (1 + sin θ).

c. Given that sin θ = 3/4 and that the perimeter of the sector OAB is 21 cm, find r, giving your answer to 3 significant figures.
