QUESTION 3
3.1 Happy Life High School makes table centrepieces, each consisting of four balloons in a vase filled with sand, for the 2017 Ball. The school expects 240 people at the ball. Each table will accommodate a maximum of 8 people and ONE centrepiece will be placed on each table.
The diagrams below show the two types of centrepieces that will be used.

Dimensions of rectangular vase:
Length = 10 cm
Width = 6 cm
Height = 28 cm

Dimensions of cylindrical vase:
Diameter = 12 cm
Height= 28 cm 

Use the information above to answer the questions that follow.
3.1.1 Calculate the minimum number of balloons required for all the centrepieces. (2)
3.1.2 Each vase will have a decorative ribbon around it. The ribbon will overlap 1 cm.
Calculate the minimum length of decorative ribbon needed to decorate ONE rectangular vase.
You may use the following formula:
Length of decorative ribbon (in cm) = 2 X (length + width) + 1  (3)
3.1.3         Calculate (in cm3) the volume of the cylindrical vase. You may use the following formula:
Volume of a cylinder = 7t X (radius)2 x height, using 7C = 3,142 (3)
3.1.4 The volume of the rectangular vase is 1 680 cm³.

• 45% of the vase will be filled with sand.
• The mass of 1 cm3 of sand is 1,53 g.

Calculate (in kg, rounded off to TWO decimal places) the mass of sand required for ONE rectangular vase.  (4)
3.2 The ladies attending the ball will each receive a triangular-shaped gift box. The box is made up of three identical rectangular faces and two identical triangular faces, as shown in the diagrams below. Each box will be covered in gold foil.

Dimensions of rectangular faces:

• Length (/) = 6 cm
• Width (w) = 4 cm

Dimensions of triangular faces:

• Base (b) = 4 cm
• Height (h) = 3,464 cm

3.2.1 Calculate (in cm2) the area of ONE triangular face of the gift box. You may use the following formula:
Area of a triangle = ½ x base x height (3)
3.2.2 Hence, determine the total surface area (in cm2) of the box. You may use the following formula:
Total surface area of a triangular prism
= 2 x (area of triangular face)   + 3 x length x width (4)
3.2.3  It takes 30 minutes to cover 20 boxes with foil.
Calculate (in seconds) the average time it will take to cover ONE box with foil. (2)
