A landscape gardener decides that he wants to design a lawn split into a series of sectors with circular patios laid into the grass, as shown in the given figure. The circular lawn will be split into six equal sectors, each with a radius ofs metres. The lines OA and OB are both tangents to the circle, and the arc AB touches the circle at a single point.
