$\Delta AOB$ is an equilateral triangle as $\angle AOB = 60^{\circ}$
$\therefore AB = 7 \text{ cm}$ [1/2 mark]
Length of minor arc $AB = \frac{60}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 = \frac{22}{3}$ [1/2 mark]
$\therefore$ Perimeter of the shaded region $= \frac{22}{3} + 7$ [1/2 mark]
$= \frac{43}{3} \text{ cm}$ or $14.33 \text{ cm}$ [1/2 mark]
$\therefore AB = 7 \text{ cm}$ [1/2 mark]
Length of minor arc $AB = \frac{60}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 = \frac{22}{3}$ [1/2 mark]
$\therefore$ Perimeter of the shaded region $= \frac{22}{3} + 7$ [1/2 mark]
$= \frac{43}{3} \text{ cm}$ or $14.33 \text{ cm}$ [1/2 mark]
