METHOD 1

valid approach     (M1)

eg\(\;\;\;\)finding reflex angle, \(2\pi  - {\rm{C\hat OA}}\)

correct angle     (A1)

eg\(\;\;\;2\pi  - 1.3,{\text{ }}4.98318\)

correct substitution     (A1)

eg\(\;\;\;\frac{1}{2}(2\pi  - 1.3){3^2}\)

\(22.4243\)

\({\text{area}} = 9\pi  - 5.85{\text{ (exact), }}22.4{\text{ }} {\text{ }}({\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^2})\)     A1     N3

METHOD 2

correct area of small sector     (A1)

eg\(\;\;\;\frac{1}{2}(1.3){3^2},{\text{ }}5.85\)

valid approach     (M1)

eg\(\;\;\;\)circle − small sector, \(\pi {r^2} - \frac{1}{2}\theta {r^2}\)

correct substitution     (A1)

eg\(\;\;\;\pi ({3^2}) - \frac{1}{2}(1.3){3^2}\)

\(22.4243\)

\({\text{area}} = 9\pi  - 5.85{\text{ }}({\text{exact}}),{\text{ }}22.4{\text{ }}{\text{ }}({\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^2})\)     A1     N3
