1 Saturday X-tra X-Sheet: 14 Key Concepts Revision of Grade 12 Space and Shape Part 3 Surface Area and Problem Solving with Space and Shape In this session we will focus on summarising what you need to know about: - Surface Area - Problem solving with Area, Perimeter, Volume and Surface Area Terminology & definitions - Area = the amount of space that the surface of a place or shape covers. Area is expressed in square units, such as square metres. - Surface Area is the total area of all the faces of a 3D shape. - Perimeter = the total length of the sides of a shape. - Circumference = the distance around the edge of a circle - Capacity is the volume of a 3D container or shape - Volume is a measure of the amount that can be held or contained by something (container). - Capacity or volume is measured in units CUBED, e.g. cm 3 or m 3. The capacity of fluids can be measured in millilitres, litres or kilolitres. Please refer back to Space and Shape Part 1 and 2 for more details on Area, Perimeter and Volume. Page 1

2 Concept: Surface Area X-ample 1 An open top fish tank has the following dimensions: Length = 2,5m Breadth = 2m Height = 1,5m Determine the total surface area (in m 2 ) of the glass used. Where Surface Area of a rectangular prism = (l x b) + 2(l x h) + 2(b x h) X-ample 2 Find the surface area of this cylinder if the dimensions are: Diameter = 10cm Height = 20cm Where Surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr 2, using π = 3,14 Page 2

3 Concept: Problem solving with Area, Volume and Surface Area X-ample 3 The athletics track shown below consists of two straight sides and two semicircles on either end of the track. The following formulae may be of use in order to answer the questions below: Area of circle = π r 2 Circumference of circle = 2 π r Area of rectangle = l b r = radius l = length b = breadth, use π = 3,14 1. Determine the area of the field inside the track. 2. Determine the cost of covering m 2 of the track with grass, if grass costs R83 per 2 m The right bend marked A to B to C of the track is to be fenced with wire, with supporting poles 2.85 m apart. Calculate how many poles will be needed. X-ample 4 A company manufactures electrical geysers out of steel in the following two shapes: Geyser 1: Geyser 2: radius = 0,4 metres, height = 1,2 metres length = 80 centimetres breadth = 80 centimetres height = 120 centimetres Page 3

4 1. Calculate the volume of Geyser 1 in m 3. Volume of cylinder = π x (radius) 2 x height, using π = 3,14 2. The volume of Geyser 2 is cm 3. If cm 3 = 1 litre, convert the volume of Geyser 2 to litres. 3. If cm 3 = 0, 22 gallon, how many gallons can Geyser 2 hold? 4. To prevent loss of heat, geysers are covered with an insulation material pasted on all the outside surfaces. How many square metres of insulation material will be needed to cover Geyser 1? Surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr 2, using π = 3,14 5. A 1 litre tin of glue used to paste the insulation material can cover a surface area of 1,25 m 2. Calculate the surface area that a 5 litre tin of glue can cover. Page 4

X-ample 5: Thandi washes her dishes by hand three times daily in two identical cylindrical basins. She uses one basin for washing the dishes and the other for rinsing the dishes.

5 X-ample 5: Thandi washes her dishes by hand three times daily in two identical cylindrical basins. She uses one basin for washing the dishes and the other for rinsing the dishes. Each basin has a radius of 30 cm and a depth of 40 cm, as shown in the diagram below. Thandi is considering buying a dishwasher that she will use to wash the dishes daily. 1. Calculate the volume of one cylindrical basin in cm3. Volume of cylinder = π x (radius) 2 x height, using π = 3,14 2. Thandi fills each basin to half its capacity whenever she washes or rinses the dishes. Calculate how much water (in litres) she will use daily to wash and rinse the dishes by hand. (1 000 cm 3 = 1 litre) 3. A manufacturer of a dishwasher claims that their dishwasher uses nine times less water in comparison to washing the same number of dishes by hand. a. How much water would this dishwasher use to wash Thandi's dishes daily? b. Is the claim of the manufacturer realistic? Justify your answer by giving a reason(s). Page 5

20 m 12m sandpit pond 34,5m The owner of the garden wants to erect a low wire fence around the pond as shown below.

6 X-ample 6: The diagram below shows the basic outlay of a rectangular garden. There is a triangular sand pit in the top right corner and a circular pond in the middle of the garden. The diagram is not drawn to scale. 20 m 12m sandpit pond 34,5m The owner of the garden wants to erect a low wire fence around the pond as shown below. He needs to calculate the length of fencing that he must buy. The following needs to be taken into account: The area of the entire garden is 1256 m 2. The pond takes up 25% of the garden. The distance between the fence and the pond must be uniformly 20 cm, as shown below. Page 6

7 The following formulae may be of use in order to answer the questions below: Circumference of a circle = 2 π r Area of a circle = π r 2 Let π = 3,14 1. Calculate the length of the radius (in meters) of the pond. Round your answer to 1 decimal place. 2. The owner has 60 m of fencing. Is this enough fencing to fence the pond? Motivate your answer with the use of calculations. The sand pit (45 cm deep) is to be filled with sand. Sand can be bought as follows: 10 m 3 (cubic meter) costs R125 5 m 3 costs R 85 2 m 3 costs R55 1 m 3 costs R30 3. Determine, using the volume formula given below, whether an amount of R200 would be sufficient to cover the cost for the sand required to completely fill the sandpit. Volume of a triangular Prism = ½ base perpendicular height depth depth Base Perpendicular Height Page 7

8 X-ample 7: In this question the following formulae can be used: Area of rectangle = l b Total surface area of rectangular prism = 2 [ l b + l h + h b] Volume of rectangular prism = l b h Where l = length b = breadth h = height The 'Choc Special' chocolate slabs are in the shape of a rectangular prism. The dimensions of the chocolate slabs are shown in the diagram below. 0,75cm 15 cm 10cm These chocolate slabs can be packed in Box A or Box B. The same number of slabs can fit in each box. 24cm 20cm 15cm 10cm 15cm 1. Calculate the number of slabs that would fit in each box. 2. Determine the height of Box B. 3. Determine the total surface area of Box B. 4. If it costs R25 to make 4 slabs of chocolate, how much would it cost to fill box A with slabs of chocolate? Page 8
