Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens are known for the giant water lilies that grow in
a circular shape in the ponds. Each water lily has an approximate radius of 1,25 metres
and can support a weight of up to 45kg. The diagram below shows a picture of the waterli
and dimensions of the pond.

5.2.1 Jodie states that the depth of the pond should be less than one metre for the water
lilies to grow. Determine the depth of the pond in metres, if it has a capacity of
2 285 000 litres of water to verify Jodie's statement.
‘You may use the formula:
Volume = L x B x H (@)
5.2.2 Assume that each water lily leaf has the same radius.
a) Determine the number of water lilies leaves that will fit along the length
of the pond. (3)
b) Determine the number of water lilies leaves that will fit along the breadth. (2)
c) Calculate the total number of water lilies leaves needed to cover the water
surface of the pond. (2)
