The track of a high-precision robot follows a straight line l1l_1l1​ with equation x+4y=32x + 4y = 32x+4y=32. The line l1l_1l1​ intersects the yyy-axis at the point CCC.

a.

State the yyy-coordinate of CCC.

[1]
b.

The point D(8,6)D(8, 6)D(8,6) lies on l1l_1l1​. The line l2l_2l2​ passes through DDD and is perpendicular to l1l_1l1​. The line l2l_2l2​ intersects the yyy-axis at the point EEE.

Show that the yyy-coordinate of EEE is −26-26−26.

c.

A circular cleaning region BCEBCEBCE, which is a sector of a circle with centre CCC, is used by the robot. Given that angle BCEBCEBCE is 0.80.80.8 radians,

find the length of the arc BEBEBE.

d.

The total operational area CBEDCBEDCBED consists of the sector BCEBCEBCE joined to the triangle CDECDECDE.

Calculate the exact area of the region CBEDCBEDCBED.
