Previous examination papers provide an opportunity for the learner to self-

assess their knowledge of the content for a specific subject. However, please
note that:

• Past examination papers do not constitute a comprehensive overview of

all the work being assessed in a particular academic year.
• Many CAPS changes come in affect from year to year and therefore, it
is not sufficient to cover only the work contained in a particular past
paper.
• The papers provided to learners are either compiled by Impaq in
conjunction with SACAI or supplied to Impaq by SACAI.

For the most comprehensive preparation for any examination, please refer
to the study notes for a particular subject available to download from the
Optimi Learning Portal.

Vorige eksamenvraestelle bied leerders die geleentheid om hul kennis van ’n

spesifieke vak self te assesseer, maar dit is belangrik om op te let dat:

• vorige eksamenvraestelle nie ’n omvattende oorsig bied van al die werk

wat in ’n spesifieke akademiese jaar geassesseer word nie.
• Verskeie KABV-veranderinge tree van jaar tot jaar in effek en dit is dus
nie voldoende om slegs die werk wat in ’n spesifieke vorige vraestel
te hersien nie.
• Die vraestelle wat aan leerders beskikbaar gemaak word, word of deur
Impaq in samewerking met SACAI opgestel, of word aan Impaq voorsien
deur SACAI.

Vir die mees omvattende voorbereiding vir enige eksamen, verwys asseblief

QUESTION 3

3.1 A wall at the local heritage museum has to be renovated by inserting three
designer windows, triangular shaped, square shaped and circular shaped,
and then painting two coats of the same paint on both sides of the renovated
wall. The diagram below shows the renovated wall as well as all relevant
dimensions.

You may use the following formulae when answering the questions that
follow:

Area of a rectangle = Length x Width

Area of a square = Side²

Area of a triangle = ½ base x height of triangle
