Q7 · B C D r 1 A O r In the diagram, AOB is a quarter circle with centre O and radius r

7 B C D r 1 A O r In the diagram, AOB is a quarter circle with centre O and radius r. The point C lies on the arc AB and the point D lies on OB. The line CD is parallel to AO and angle AOC = 1 radians. (i) Express the perimeter of the shaded region in terms of r, 1 and 0. [4] (ii) For the case where r = 5 cm and 1 = 0.6, find the area of the shaded region. [3]
