![(a) The area of a sector of a circle of radius 12cm is 132cm^2 . If the sector is folded such that its straight edges coincide to form a cone. Find the radius of the base of the cone [ Take π = ((22)/7) ] . (b) A circle of centre O has radius 5cm. A chord PQ of the circle is 6cm long. caclculate: (i) The distance of the chord from the centre O (ii) The angle POQ](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q44548.png)
