QUESTION 2 
2.1 

Kataryna is planning a fashion show and intends using the school hall for the event. The hall has a stage and she plans to have a raised T-shaped platform, called a runway, erected in front of the stage, as shown in the diagrams below.    The SEVEN exposed rectangular sides of the T-shaped runway will be covered with material. The top of the runway will be carpeted. The total length of the runway is equal to į of the length of the hall.  [Adapted from www.jerichostage.com]

2.1.1 Calculate: 

1. 1. The missing value d (in mm) (3)
   2. The total length (in mm) of the exposed sides of the runway (3)
      The area (in m2) of the runway that needs to be covered with carpet (4)
      You may use the following formula:
      Area of a rectangle = length x width 
   3. The length (in m) of the hall  (3)

2.1.2 Harry, a British model, wants to know the measurement (in feet) of the front end of the runway.  (3)
Convert 4,2 m to feet, rounded off to one decimal place. 
NOTE: 1 foot = 0,3048 m 

2.2 

The organisers of the fashion show decide to hand out chocolates to the audience at the entrance. The pictures and diagrams below show the two different containers in which the chocolates will be packed.

2.2.1 Determine A, the length (in cm) of ONE side of the square base. You may use the following formula:
Volume of box with square base = (side)² x height  (4)
2.2.2 The organisers of the fashion show want to use their own label around the outer curved side of the cylindrical container. The label will be 1 cm longer than the circumference of the circular base to allow for an overlap. 
Determine the total area (to the nearest cm²) of all the labels that will be required for 76 cylindrical containers.  (4)
You may use the following formula:
Area of one label (in cm²) = (1 + 2π × r ] × height
using π = 3,142 
2.2.3 Show, with calculations, that the volume of the cylindrical container is 238,99 cm³ more than the volume of the container with the square base.  (3)
You may use the following formula:
Volume of cylinder = π × r² x height
using π = 3,142 
2.2.4 State the most appropriate metric unit of measure for the mass of a container of chocolates.  (2)
