QUESTION 3

3.1 Tshego is renovating her home. She is removing the wooden-framed windows and is

replacing them with aluminium-framed windows.
The dimensions and the shape of two of the window frames are given below.

In the rectangular window frame, four windows can open. It has three sections: A, B
and C. The circular window frame has no windows that can open.

RECTANGULAR CIRCULAR
WINDOW FRAME WINDOW FRAME

A. B Cc

Outer dimensions of the window frame: Inner diameter = 605 mm
Length A= 55 cm, B= 99 cm and C= 55 cm.
Width = 149 cm

[Source: www.premiumaluminium.co.za]

The following formulae may be used:

Area of a rectangle = length <x width
Area of a circle = 3,142 x (radius)”
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Circumference of a circle = 3,142 x diameter

Use the information above to answer the questions that follow.

3.1.1 Determine the perimeter of the rectangular window frame. (3)
3.1.2 Calculate the inner area in cm? of the circular window frame. (4)
3.1.3 One of the windowpanes of the rectangular window frame broke.

Write the probability, as a decimal, that it is NOT one of the windowpanes
that can open. (3)

3.2 Tshego also intends tiling the dining room and lounge floors.

The dimensions of the lounge floor are 4m by 5m and of the dining room floor
3m by 4m.

Information and cost:

Tshego intends using tiles that are 35 cm by 35 cm.

One box of 4 tiles costs R143,84.

Tile cement costs R99,90 per 20 kg bag, which covers 3 m’.
She needs 4 bags of tile grout at R89,90 per 5 kg bag.

The cost of labour is R2 500.

Tshego's total budget for the tiling project is R15 000.

Use the information above to answer the questions that follow.
3.2.1 Show that the total floor area to be tiled is 32 m’.

You may use this formula:

Area of a rectangle = length x width (2)
3.2.2 Determine how many boxes of tiles Tshego will need if an extra 10% of the
number of tiles must be added for cutting and breakages. (9)
3.2.3 Show by means of calculations if Tshego's budget is enough to finish the
tiling project. (8)

QUESTION 4

41 ANNEXURE C shows the seating plan for a cinema during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Seats marked with an 'X' need to be left vacant in order to comply with social
distancing regulations.

Use ANNEXURE C and the information above to answer the questions that follow.

4.1.1 On which side of the cinema is seat E4 from seat E15 when a person is
facing the screen?

4.1.2 Assume that pre-Covid-19 conditions apply and all the seats are occupied.

(a) Name the row and seat number of the middle seat in the 8" row from
the screen.

(b) Write down the ratio of the number of wheelchair spaces to the
number of seats for patrons NOT in wheelchairs.

4.1.3 On Friday evenings, pre-Covid-19, all the seats in the cinema (excluding
the wheelchair spaces) were always occupied.

Calculate the percentage income lost due to social distancing during the
pandemic if ALL the tickets for the seats are equally priced.

State the purpose of the breathing valve on the tank.

The steel used to make the tank is 5 mm thick all around. For safety
reasons, the tank is filled to 95% of its capacity.

(a) Show that the inner diameter of the tank is 3,21 m.

(b) Calculate the maximum litres of diesel that this tank can hold
according to safety regulations.

You may use this formula:
Volume of a cylinder = 3,142 x (radius) x height

The external surface area of the tank, excluding the base area of the
external attachments, needs to be painted. The spread rate of the paint is
3 m*/t. The manager states that he would need less than 30 litres of paint to
complete the task.

Verify, by showing ALL calculations, whether the manager is CORRECT.
You may use this formula:

Surface area of a cylinder (in m’) = 2 3,142 xr (r+ h),
where r = radius and h = height.
