Question

Your client, Mr Baloyi, has built a traditional rondavel (round house) with his grandmother when he was still a child.

Now that he is older, he wants to build a modern rondavel. The radius of the rondavel is \(5500 \mathrm{~mm}\). The front half of the rondavel is the kitchen and living area. At the back of the rondavel there is two bedrooms (3 000 mm) with a passage (1 \(245 \mathrm{~mm}\) ) in the middle between them. The passage leads to a full bathroom and a storeroom.
