THE PROBLEM STATEMENT

The community of Tshwaranang in Ekurhuleni is having challenges with housing for its community
members. The municipality has identified land where houses should be built. You are the town
planner. Solve this problem by doing the following project.

QUESTION 1

In this township each street will have 6 street lights; on the one side of the street on pavements of
the houses. The last street light will be on the last house of the side of the street.
The 1st street light will be on the 5th house’s pavement; the 2nd on the 9th house pavement; the 3rd
on the 13th house’s pavement and the 4th on the 17th house’s pavement.

1.1. Indicate first 4 of the number sequence in this pattern in terms of the number of house where
the street light is positioned and find the constant difference. [2]

1.2 Indicate in the table the position of the street light against the number of street light it is.

X (position of the term) [2]

Y(constant difference by position of the term )

1.3. Identify the relationship between the position and the number of lights there are and write in
words.

QUESTION 2
You are considering the different patterns and structures of houses and considering the number
people and resources that will be needed. The squares represent the number families that can be
housed and the dots represents the amount of material that can be used to build each structure

QUESTION 4

Draw a plan of the streets of this township with Paul Street perpendicular to Victor Street, Grace
Street connects Victor Street and Paul Street at 45⁵ at each vertex and forms a triangular park.
Hellen Street is parallel to Paul Street and parallel to Hellen Street is Smith Street. Parallel to
Victor Street is parallel to Clifford Street. Clifford Street intersects Paul; Hellen and Smith Streets
at 90ᵒ angles.
