Step-by-step solution

5 steps

3.2.1

  • A strip map is a simplified, linear representation of a specific route, focusing on the path and key points along it, often without detailed surrounding areas.
  • A street map provides a detailed, two-dimensional view of a specific area, showing all streets, buildings, and geographical features, allowing for navigation within that area.

3.2.2

  1. Identify the starting point and destination.

    Gavin is coming from Vanrhynsdorp and wants to go to Ceres.

  2. Trace the route on the strip map, noting road numbers.

    From Vanrhynsdorp (258 km from Cape Town), Gavin will travel south on the National Road N7. He will pass Clanwilliam (223 km from Cape Town) and Citrusdal (161 km from Cape Town).

  3. Identify the turn-off for Ceres.

    He will then turn right onto Regional Road R45 to reach Ceres (110 km from Cape Town).
    Gavin will travel south on the National Road N7 from Vanrhynsdorp, passing Clanwilliam and Citrusdal, then turn right onto Regional Road R45 to reach Ceres.

    3.2.3

  4. Find the distance between Cape Town and Hondeklipbaai from the strip map.

    According to the strip map, Hondeklipbaai is 114 km from Cape Town.

  5. Convert the distance from kilometers to meters.

    114 km×1000 m/km=114 000 m114 \text{ km} \times 1000 \text{ m/km} = 114\,000 \text{ m}

    The distance between Cape Town and Hondeklipbaai in metres is:

    114 000 m114\,000 \text{ m}
