QUESTION 1

1.1 Jenny has two solid shapes (made of lead) in her workshop, a cone and a pyramid.
The cone has a diameter of 20 cm and a slant height of 60 cm. The pyramid, with
faces that are equilateral triangles (regular tetrahedron), has edges of length 4 cm. The
4 6
vertical height of the pyramid is cm .

4.2 Doctor Mkhize invested R50 000 for a period of seven years. The total amount
accumulated in the fund at the end of seven years is R83 568.

Calculate the interest rate per annum compounded annually that will yield this return. (5)

4.3 Simon takes a loan from Ayanda to the value of R25 000 to start up a new business.
Ayanda charges him interest at 12% per annum compounded semi-annually. Three
years after he took out the loan, Simon repays an amount of R12 000. Ayanda then
changes the loan agreement and charges Simon interest at the rate of 15% per annum
compounded monthly for a further 2 years. At the end of the first year of this new
agreement, Simon borrows a further R10 000.

4.3.1 Draw a time-line for the loan as described above. (3)

4.3.2 Calculate the amount of money that Simon owes after 5 years. (5)
