23) Correct red area 12 and correct blue area 72 or together 84

Correct answer 1/7 or equaivalent fractions.

24) This compound shape can be divided into a rectangle and two semicircles.
Perimeter of outside edges of the rectangle = 2 x 30 = 60 cm
The two semicircles if combined would form a complete circle, therefore the
perimeter of the two semicircles is equal to the circumference of the full circle.
Circumference = 𝜋 𝑥 10 = 31.4 cm (to 1 d.p.)
Therefore, total perimeter of compound shape is 60 + 31.4 = 91.4 cm
25) y = 3(6) – 7 = 11 Therefore 11 = 11. Yes it is on the graph.

26) Area of cross-section = area A + area B + area C = (2 x 5) + (3 x 3) + (2 x 5)

= 10 + 9 + 10 = 29 cm2

27) Area of cross section = 6 x 4 = 24cm2

Volume = 24 x 3 = 72 cm3
In this case, because the prism is a cuboid, other cross sections could have
been used, for Eg
Area of cross section = 3 x 4 = 12 cm2

12 | Page
 Volume = 12 x 6 = 72 cm2
Volume = 12 x 6 = 72 cm3
The volume is the same as before.

28) Triangular prism has five faces therefore total surface area is the sum of the
areas of the five faces.
Area of each triangular face = ½ x 12 x 5 = 30 sq cm
Area of both triangular faces = 30 x 2 = 60 sq cm
Base pf the prism is a rectangle. Its area is 12 x 15 = 180 sq cm
Back face of the prism is a rectangle. Its area is 15 x 5 = 75 sq cm.
The sloping face of the prism is also a rectangle. However one the
dimensions is not given. The length of the sloping edge needs to be
calculated.
Using Pythagoras theorem

H2 = 52 + 122
H2 = 169
H = square root of 169 = 13 cm
Area of rectangular sloping face = 13 x 15 = 195 cm2
Total surface area = 60 + 180 + 75 + 195 = 510 cm2

29) 2𝜋 is irrational as it is a multiple of 𝜋 and 𝜋 itself is irrational

√8 is irrational as it is the square root of a non-square number.

34) V = 𝜋r2h
265 = 3.142 x 32 x h
h = 265/28.278 = 9.37 = 9.4 cm

35) a) i) Surface Area = 2𝜋r2 + 2𝜋rh = 2 x 𝜋 x 42 + 2 x 𝜋 x 4 x 10 = 351.9 sq m

ii)Volume = Ah = 𝜋r2h = 𝜋 x 42 x 10 = 502.7 cubic m

b)Area of square = side x side = 4 x 4 = 16 sq m

Area of triangle = ½ x b x h = 4 x 5/2 = 20/2 = 10

Surface Area = 16 + 4(10) = 56 sq m

41) a) 10a2 + 2ab b) -2𝑥 3 – 2𝑥 2 + 6𝑥
42) a) The closest square numbers either side of 39 are 36 and 49.

Since √36 =6and √49 =7, √39 lies between 6 and 7.

39 is closer to 36 than to 49, so the square root will be closer to 6 than to 7.

In fact √39 =6.2, to 1d.p.

 b) The closest cube numbers either side of 20 are 8 and 27.
3 3 3
Since √8 = 2 and √27 = 3, √20 lies between 2and 3.

20 is closer to 27 than to 8, so the cube root will be closer to 3 than to 2.

In fact √20 = 2.7, to 1d.p.

47) (x – 3) (x + 8) Already given (x – 3) is width So l = ?

When you expand the bracket we get back x2 + 5x – 24
Therefore n = 5 Length is x + 8 and n = 5

48) As n is even, then n + 1 will be odd, and so will n + 3.

Their product is (n + 1) (n + 3) = n2 + 4n + 3
As n is even, n2 and 4n will also be even.
Adding an odd number (here, 3) to an even number always results in an odd
number

49) (x + 1) (x – 1) = x2 – 1, so 49 x 51 = 502 – 1 = 2500 – 1 = 2499

50)
(x + 1)2 = x2 + 2x + 1 so:

a) 91 = 902 + 2 x 90 + 1 = 8100 + 180 + 1 = 8281

b) 4012 = 4002 + 2 x 400 + 1 = 160000 + 800 + 1 = 160801

51)

8 x 𝑥 = 32 So, 𝑥 = 32/8 = 4
×𝑦
4 = 32 So y = 64/4 = 16

52) Using Pythagoras theorem,

7.22 + b2 = 8.42
b2 = 8.42 – 7.22 = 4.327
7.2 × 4.327
V = Area of cross section x length = × 18 = 280.4 cm3
