QUESTION 2
Julia is a wildlife photographer.
2.1 A common technique used by photographers to improve their photos is called "The
rule of thirds". When taking a photo, Julia knows to divide the space into 9 equal
rectangles. This means two vertical lines and two horizontal lines. The points where
these lines intersect are called crash points. The focal point(s) of Julia's photo should
be placed on a crash point.
Study the photo below:
2.1.1 How many crash points are there to choose from when using this technique?
(2)
2.1.2 Julia cannot see why this technique is called the "Rule of Thirds". Explain to
her why it has been called that.
(2)

2.2 Julia buys a new camera. The instructions to insert the battery and memory card into
the camera are given below.
Match one of the images to the written instructions given in the table.
Write only the letter of the appropriate image in the table.
Written Instructions Image

A
Step 1:
Check the card's write-protect tab.
If the memory card has a write-protect tab, you will not be
able to record images if the tab is in the locked position.
Slide the tab up until you hear a click.
B
Step 2:
Open the cover.
Slide the cover (1) and open it (2)
C Step 3:
Insert the battery.
Insert the battery, with the terminals face down, as shown
until it locks into place with a click. Be sure to insert the
battery in the correct direction or it will not properly lock into
place.
D Step 4:
Insert the memory card.
Insert the memory card as shown until it locks into place
with a click. Be sure the memory card is oriented correctly.
Inserting the memory card in the wrong direction would
damage the camera.
E
Step 5:
Close the cover.
Close the cover (1), and press downward as you slide it
until it clicks into place (2).

QUESTION 4
More and more South African's are starting to use Uber Taxi's as a means of
transportation. Using the Uber App they can find your location and link you
with the closest Uber taxi. Payment is made by registering your credit card
details through the app.

4.2.3 A new way of fining motorists for speeding in South Africa is to use "Average
Speed Prosecution".

1. Car A passes Camera Point 1, where their number plate and time is recorded.
2. A few kilometres further along the same road, Car A passes Camera Point 2
where their number plate and time are recorded again.
3. That recorded data is then used to calculate the average speed, in km/h,
Car A took to travel between Point 1 and Point 2.
Ms Naidoo's UberXL driver, Friedrich, drove past Camera Point 1 at Point P and
Camera Point 2 at Point Q on the graph on the previous page.

speed limit along this stretch of road is 70 km/h.

QUESTION 5
Hiring a skip bin is an ideal way to dispose of most types of household rubbish and garden
waste. A skip is a large open-topped waste container designed for loading onto a special
type of truck. While the actual dimensions of skips may differ from one company to another,
the bin sizes are the same and are indicated in cubic metres.
Shown here are the sizes, in m3, of the four most

popular skips. We can also see the relative height
of each skip as compared to an average person.
Corbett Clothing needs to rent a skip and does some research.
They come across this very handy infographic.
[Source: <http://skiphire-johannesburg.co.za/skip-dimensions-3/>]
5.1 The infographic compares the size (volume) of the skip to wheelie bins and trailers.
5.1.1 Why do you think the company chose to use these items to illustrate the size
(volume) of a skip?
(2)

5.1.2 Explain why they have given an approximate number for the wheelie bins.
(2)
5.2 Corbett Clothing realise that they only need to rent a 2 m3 skip.
The dimensions of a 2m3 are shown in the diagram below.
The skip has a top length of 2 000 mm, a top width of 1 000 mm and a perpendicular
height of 1 000 m. The base (bottom) of this skip is a square.
5.2.1 The diagram below is a side view of the skip. Add the four missing dimension
to the diagram.
Side View
(4)

5.2.2 The volume of a skip can be calculated by dividing the skip into three
sections.
Sections 1 and 3 will have

the same volume.
By referring to the dimen-

sions given on the previous
page, calculate the volume,
in mm3, of Section 1 of the
2 m3 skip.
Volume = Area of Base × Height
(4)
5.2.3 Calculate the total volume of the skip in cubic millimetres if Section 2 has a
volume of 1 000 000 000 mm3.
(3)
5.2.4 Convert your answer to cubic metres.
(3)

5.3 Siphi Skips stores their skips in a "parking lot" which is similar to a parking lot for
motor vehicles. The skips are transported to the "parking lot" on the back of a truck
as shown in the picture. The skip is then unloaded from the back of the truck.
Study the three parking layout designs.
Consider the following points:
• Each rectangle represents a

parking bay.
• There is one parking bay allocated
to each skip.
• The horizontal distance for the traffic
flow between the two rows of parking
bays is equal in all layouts.
The traffic flow in all layouts is one way ONLY.
5.3.1 In your opinion, which of the three layouts would be the most efficient way
for Siphi Skips to store the skips? Provide a reason for your answer.
(2)
5.3.2 Each parking bay was designed to be 145% of the area required for a
standard sized skip. If each parking bay has an area of 5,8 m 2 calculate the
minimum area of a standard sized skip.
(2)
