### Problem 1: Matching definitions to concepts
1.1.1 Aansigplan corresponds to B (Visuele voorstelling van die buitensye van 'n gebou).
1.1.2 Numeriese skaal corresponds to G (Skaal waar een eenheid op die kaart in werklikheid 50 000 eenhede voorstel).
1.1.3 Volume corresponds to I (Die oppervlakte van al die vlakke van 'n voorwerp wat by mekaar getel word) - This is incorrect; volume is the driedimensionele ruimte (A). I is surface area.
1.1.4 Afstand corresponds to J (Die resultaat van spoed, in km/h, gedeel deur die tyd, in uur) - This is incorrect; afstand (distance) is spoed × tyd (E).
1.1.5 Omtrek corresponds to F (Afstand rondom die buitekand van 'n vorm).
**Correct matches:**
- 1.1.1: B
- 1.1.2: G
- 1.1.3: A (Volume)
- 1.1.4: E (Afstand)
- 1.1.5: F (Omtrek)

### Problem 2: Synthetic leather and circles
Given:
- Radius of one large circle $r = 1.4$ cm
- Width of synthetic leather roll $h = 1.37$ m = 137 cm
- Length of leather bought = 30 cm
- Amanda claims leftover leather area after cutting all large circles is less than 6000 cm²
**Step 1:** Calculate area of leather piece:
$$\text{Area}_{\text{leather}} = 137 \times 30 = 4110 \text{ cm}^2$$
**Step 2:** Calculate area of one circle:
$$A_{circle} = 3.142 \times (1.4)^2 = 3.142 \times 1.96 = 6.16 \text{ cm}^2$$
**Step 3:** Calculate how many circles fit:
- Along width: $\lfloor \frac{137}{2.8} \rfloor = 49$ (since diameter = 2 × radius = 2.8 cm)
- Along length: $\lfloor \frac{30}{2.8} \rfloor = 10$
- Total circles: $49 \times 10 = 490$
**Step 4:** Total area of circles:
$$490 \times 6.16 = 3018.4 \text{ cm}^2$$
**Step 5:** Leftover area:
$$4110 - 3018.4 = 1091.6 \text{ cm}^2$$
Since $1091.6 < 6000$, Amanda's claim is correct.

### Problem 3: Verifying bird flight distance
Given:
- Direct distance between B and E = 311.72 miles
- Extra distance claimed = 268.13 km
- Conversion: 1 mile = 1.60934 km
**Step 1:** Convert direct distance to km:
$$311.72 \times 1.60934 = 501.7 \text{ km}$$
**Step 2:** Total distance flown:
$$501.7 + 268.13 = 769.83 \text{ km}$$
**Step 3:** Check if extra distance is valid:
Extra distance is $268.13$ km, which is about 53.4% of direct distance.
This is plausible, so the claim is valid.

### Problem 4: Number of girls shorter than 5 feet
Given:
- Largest flammik height = 59 inches ≈ 5 feet
- 10% of women are shorter than 5 feet
- Women = 50% of population
- Total population = 333 million
- 78% of population is adult
**Step 1:** Calculate adult population:
$$333 \times 0.78 = 259.74 \text{ million}$$
**Step 2:** Calculate adult women:
$$259.74 \times 0.5 = 129.87 \text{ million}$$
**Step 3:** Calculate women shorter than 5 feet:
$$129.87 \times 0.10 = 12.987 \text{ million}$$
**Answer:** Approximately 13 million girls are shorter than 5 feet.

**Final answers:**
- Matching definitions corrected.
- Amanda's claim about leftover leather is true.
- Bird's extra flight distance claim is valid.
- About 13 million girls are shorter than 5 feet in the country.
