(a) In the diagram, XY is a chord of a circle of radius 5cm. The chord subtends an angle 96^\circ at the centre. Calculate, correct to three significant figures, the area of the minor segment cut-off. (Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)). (b) The figure shows a circle inscribed in a square. If a portion of the circle is shaded with some portions of the square, calculate the total area of the shaded portions. [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)].
