QUESTION 2
el Malibongwe owns a guest farm with four holiday cottages. He decides to use bricks to
build a braai stand for each cottage. The picture and diagrams in ANNEXURE B show
the dimensions and different views of a braai stand.
NOTE: There is 10mm mortar (cement mix) between the bricks. The bricks are
rectangular prisms with a length of 22 cm each.
Use ANNEXURE B to answer the questions that follow.
211 Malibongwe decides to clear an area to create a uniform 250 mm border
around the base of the braai stand (as shown on ANNEXURE B).
(a) Determine the length and width of the rectangular area to be cleared
to build one braai stand.
(b) Hence, calculate the total area of ground (in m?*) to be cleared to
build one braai stand.
You may use the following formula:
Area of rectangle = length x width
21.2 A is the width of the open space in which the braai grill will fit exactly.
The width, A, is equal to the length of two bricks plus the mortar between
the bricks.
Show that A is equal to 470 mm.
2.1.3 Malibongwe decides to use a rectangular cement slab, B, to cover part of
the braai stand's top. The cement slab has the following dimensions:
e Thickness/Height = 3,5 cm
e Length = 920 mm
e Width = (25 x length of a brick) + mortar
(a) Determine the width of the cement slab.
(b) Hence, determine the volume (in cm*) of ONE cement slab.
You may use the following formula:
Volume of rectangular prism = length x width x height
