Circular measure — practice question

The diagram depicts a semicircle with centre $O$ and radius $6\text{ cm}$. Radius $OC$ is at right angles to the diameter $AB$. Point $D$ is on $AB$, and $DC$ is an arc from a circle centred at $B$.
(i)[3]

Calculate the length of arc $DC$.

(ii)[4]

Find the value of $\dfrac{\text{area of region } P}{\text{area of region } Q}$, with your answer stated correct to 3 significant figures.
