The diagram shows a circle with centre `O` and radius 2 centimetres. The points `A` and `B` lie on the circumference of the circle and `/_AOB = theta`.
- There are two possible values of `theta` for which the area of `Delta AOB` is `sqrt 3` square centimetres. One value is `pi/3`.
Find the other value. (2 marks)
