Question 8

(a) Given that \(\sin x = 0.6, 0° \leq x \leq 90°\), evaluate \(2\cos x + 3\sin x\), leaving your answer in the form \(\frac{m}{n}\), where m and n are integers.

(b) In the diagram, a semi-circle WXYZ with centre O is inscribed in an isosceles triangle ABC. If /AC/ = /BC/, |OC| = 30 cm and < ACB = 130°, calculate, correct to one decimal place, the (i) radius of the circle ; (ii) area oc the shaded portion. [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)].
