QUESTION 3.2

3.2.1

  • A strip map is a simplified map that focuses on a specific route or linear path, showing key towns, junctions, and distances along that route, often without much detail of the surrounding areas.
  • A street map provides a detailed representation of a specific area, such as a city or town, showing all streets, buildings, landmarks, and other features, allowing for navigation within that local 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 and identify roads.

    From Vanrhynsdorp, Gavin will travel south on the main road. This main road is a National Road. He will pass through Clanwilliam and Citrusdal. At Citrusdal, he will turn right onto the road indicated as "Ceres 110". This is a Regional Road. He will follow this Regional Road for 110 km to reach Ceres.

    3.2.3

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

    Based on the map, the cumulative distances from Cape Town along the main route are:

    • To Garies: approximately 405 km
    • To Kamieskroon: approximately 465 km The note states that the bypass to Hondeklipbaai is in the middle of Garies and Kamieskroon. Distance to the bypass from Cape Town = Distance to Garies+Distance to Kamieskroon2\frac{\text{Distance to Garies} + \text{Distance to Kamieskroon}}{2}
    Distance to bypass=405 km+465 km2=870 km2=435 km\text{Distance to bypass} = \frac{405 \text{ km} + 465 \text{ km}}{2} = \frac{870 \text{ km}}{2} = 435 \text{ km}
  4. Add the distance from the bypass to Hondeklipbaai.

    The map indicates "Hondeklipbaai 95", meaning Hondeklipbaai is 95 km from the bypass.
    Total distance from Cape Town to Hondeklipbaai = Distance to bypass + Distance from bypass to Hondeklipbaai

    Total distance=435 km+95 km=530 km\text{Total distance} = 435 \text{ km} + 95 \text{ km} = 530 \text{ km}
  5. Convert the total distance from kilometers to meters.

    Since 1 km = 1000 m:

    530 km×1000 m/km=530 000 m530 \text{ km} \times 1000 \text{ m/km} = 530\,000 \text{ m}

    The distance between Cape Town and Hondeklipbaai is 530 000 m\text{530 000 m}.
