3.13 diagram
In this question lengths are in centimetres and angles are in radians.
The diagram shows a circle with centre OO and radius rr. The points AA and BB lie on the circumference of the circle. The area of the minor sector OABOAB is 25 cm225\text{ cm}^{2}. The angle AOBAOB is θ\theta.
(a)
Find an expression for the perimeter, PP, of the minor sector AOBAOB, in terms of rr.
[3]
(b)
Given that rr can vary, show that PP has a minimum value and find this minimum value.
