Circular measure — practice question

The diagram depicts a circle with centre $O$ and radius $r$ cm. Points $A$ and $B$ are on the circle, and $AT$ is tangent to the circle. Angle $AOB = \theta$ radians, and $OBT$ is a straight line.
(a)[3]

Express the area of the shaded region using $r$ and $\theta$.

(i)[3]

Express the area of the shaded region using $r$ and $\theta$.

(ii)[4]

Find the perimeter of the shaded region when $r = 3$ and $\theta = 1.2$.
