643000 m\text{643000 m}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

3.2.1

A strip map is a simplified, linear representation of a specific route between two points, focusing on major towns, distances, and key roads along that route. It typically omits detailed geographical features not directly relevant to the journey.
A street map, on the other hand, provides a detailed, scaled representation of a local area, showing all streets, buildings, landmarks, and often specific addresses or one-way systems within a city or town.

3.2.2

  1. Identify the starting point (Vanrhynsdorp) and the destination (Ceres) on the strip map.

  2. Trace the route from Vanrhynsdorp to Ceres, identifying the National and Regional roads.

    From Vanrhynsdorp, Gavin should travel south on the N7 National Road.
    He will pass through Clanwilliam.
    Upon reaching Citrusdal, he should turn right (east) onto the R303 Regional Road.
    He will then follow the R303 until he reaches Ceres.

    3.2.3

  3. Determine the cumulative distance from Cape Town to the turn-off for Hondeklipbaai.

    The map indicates cumulative distances from Cape Town on the left side of the N7.
    Distance from Cape Town to Garies = 533 km.
    Distance from Cape Town to Kamieskroon = 583 km.
    The note states that the bypass to Hondeklipbaai is in the middle of Garies and Kamieskroon.

    Distance to turn-off=Distance to Garies+Distance to Kamieskroon2\text{Distance to turn-off} = \frac{\text{Distance to Garies} + \text{Distance to Kamieskroon}}{2} Distance to turn-off=533 km+583 km2=1116 km2=558 km\text{Distance to turn-off} = \frac{533 \text{ km} + 583 \text{ km}}{2} = \frac{1116 \text{ km}}{2} = 558 \text{ km}

  4. Add the distance from the turn-off to Hondeklipbaai.

    The map shows "Hondeklipbaai 85", meaning it is 85 km from the N7.

    Total distance in km=Distance to turn-off+Distance from turn-off to Hondeklipbaai\text{Total distance in km} = \text{Distance to turn-off} + \text{Distance from turn-off to Hondeklipbaai} Total distance in km=558 km+85 km=643 km\text{Total distance in km} = 558 \text{ km} + 85 \text{ km} = 643 \text{ km}

  5. Convert the total distance from kilometers to meters.

    1 km=1000 m1 \text{ km} = 1000 \text{ m} Total distance in m=643 km×1000mkm=643000 m\text{Total distance in m} = 643 \text{ km} \times 1000 \frac{\text{m}}{\text{km}} = 643000 \text{ m}

    The distance between Cape Town and Hondeklipbaai is 643000 m\text{643000 m}.
