Question 28

A plan for an observation deck is shown below. The design consists of a major sector ABCOA ABCOA\,ABCOA of a circle with centre OOO, joined to a triangular viewing platform AODAODAOD. It is given that:

  • The radius of the circle OA=OC=10 mOA = OC = 10\text{ m}OA=OC=10 m
  • The platform edge AD=22 mAD = 22\text{ m}AD=22 m
  • The angle ∠ODA=0.40 radians\angle ODA = 0.40\text{ radians}∠ODA=0.40 radians
  • ∠AOD \angle AOD\,∠AOD is an obtuse angle
  • OCD OCD\,OCD is a straight line

Find:
