8. C D B A O Figure 3 Figure 3 shows a sketch of the outline of the face of a ceiling fan viewed from below. The fan consists of three identical sections congruent to OABCDO, shown in Figure 3, where • OABO is a sector of a circle with centre O and radius 9 cm • OBCDO is a sector of a circle with centre O and radius 84 cm π radians angle AOD = 2 • 3 Given that the length of the arc AB is 15 cm,

Please look through all of the solution first. The marks can be awarded in the following way.
M1: A correct attempt at any relevant area
dM1: A correct attempt at a corresponding area that can be combined with the first area in some way
to find the area of the fan. FT on angles found in part (a). Dependent upon previous mark
A1: Both areas correct. They do not need to be calculated but the angles must be correct to 3sf
ddM1: A correct combination of areas to find the area of the fan
A1: awrt 0.473 m2 or awrt 4730 cm2. Must include the units. ISW after a correct answer
