The problem you've shared involves two concentric circular sectors and asks for expressions and proof related to their areas. Let's break it down step-by-step:

### Given Information:
- \( OA = r \) cm, \( AC = 2 \) cm, \( OE = 8 \) cm.
- \( \angle AOB = \theta \) radians.
- The area of the shaded region **CEFD** is denoted as \( A_1 \).
- The area of the shaded sector **OAB** is denoted as \( A_2 \).
- \( A_1 = 74 \) cm².

### Part (a) — Expression for \( A_1 \)
1. The sector area formula is:
   \[
   \text{Area of a sector} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta
   \]

2. The radii involved for the two sectors:
   - Inner sector **OAB** has radius \( OA = r \) and area \( A_2 \) given by:
     \[
     A_2 = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta
     \]
   - The outer sector **OCE** has radius \( OE = 8 \), but it includes both inner sectors, so:
     \[
     A_{\text{outer sector OCE}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8^2 \times \theta = 32 \theta
     \]

3. Now, **CEFD** is the shaded region between two sectors:
   \[
   A_1 = \text{Area of the outer sector OCE} - \text{Area of the sector OAB}
   \]
   \[
   A_1 = 32 \theta - \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta
   \]
   This is the expression for \( A_1 \).

### Part (b) — Given \( A_1 = 74 \), Show \( r = 2.5 \)
1. Substitute \( A_1 = 74 \) into the expression from part (a):
   \[
   74 = 32 \theta - \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta
   \]

2. You are also given \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2.5} \) radians (if not specified, assume it's provided implicitly from the problem).

Let's now solve this for \( r \).

I will calculate this next.It appears that the initial assumption for \(\theta\) might not be correct, as it's resulting in an imaginary solution for \(r\). Let me revisit the expression and solve it more generally based on the information provided in the question.

The assumption for \(\theta\) might need clarification, or an alternative angle might need to be considered. Could you confirm or provide the value of \(\theta\), or should I attempt another approach?



AB, CD, and EF are arcs of concentric circles, center O, such that OACE and OBDF are straight lines as shown in the diagram. The area of the shaded region CEFD is denoted by A1, and the area of the shaded sector OAB by A2. Given that OA = r cm, AC = 2 cm, OE = 8 cm, and ∠AOB = θ radians, find an expression for A1 in terms of r and θ. Given also that A1 = 74, show that r = 2.5.
