the barn on a square grid of a scale of 1 cm to 2 metres and labeled as ABCD as in
diagram 16 in the answer space. [Use 𝜋 = ]
a) They plan to build a roof for part of the barn. In Diagram 16 in the answer space, draw
and shade the area if the roof is always 14 metres from A. [2 m]
b) i)John and Peter used the services of a licensed contractor to build the roof of the barn
at a cost of RM 90 per square metre of the construction. Calculate the cost that they
have to provide. [3 m]
ii) In January 2018, John had saved RM 12 000 in a saving account at Bank Pacific at a
