Refer to the diagram of the sandpit to answer the questions below.
3.1.1 Jona finds a space to put the sandpit, but he only considers the perimeter of the

final answer in metres.
You may use the following formula:
Perimeter = 2 × length + 2 × breadth (3)
3.1.2 The sand that Jona wants to put in the sand pit, should only cover 80,5% of the
height of the sandpit. Determine the height of the sand in the sand pit to the nearest
centimetre. (2)
