A campsite constructed a concrete firepit in a shape of solid cuboid, ABCDEFGH, with a length and
width of 62 cm and a height of 42 cm. A depression (spherical hollow) in the shape of a hemisphere with
diameter 48 cm is removed from the center of the top face of the cuboid. M is the center of the base of
the hole. This information can be seen in the diagram below.
a. Calculate the volume of the entire concrete firepit (with the spherical hollow in the middle). [3]
b. What is the surface area of the concrete firepit? [3]
c. Calculate the distance from point A to M. [3]
d. What is the measure of the angle formed by segment AM to the base ADHE? [3]

meters after every session. However, after every 5th session, she decided to add another 200 meters
on top of the regular increase in distance she initially has since she gets used to the program already.
(a) Write the general formula of Anna’s running distance in the n th training sessions for the
first five days [3]
(b) Write the general formula of Anna’s running distance in the n th training sessions starting
from the sixth day onwards [3]
(c) In which session will Anna first run further than 15 kilometers? [3]
(d) Find the total running distance in the first 25 training sessions, giving the answer in
standard form N ×10 k. [4]
After finishing the running program, she continues with the swimming program. In this program, in the
first session she swims 1200 meters and increases the swimming distance by 3.5% after each
session.
