πr2 = 8     (M1)

Note: Award (M1) for correct area formula.

 

r = 1.60 (cm)     (1.59576...)     (A1)     (C2)

[2 marks]

a.

200 cm3     (A1)(ft)     (C1)

Notes: Units are required. Follow through from their part (a). Accept 201 cm3 (201.061…) for use of r = 1.60 .

[1 mark]

b.

Surface area = 16 + 2π(1.59576...)25     (M1)(M1)

Note: Award (M1) for correct substitution of their r into curved surface area formula, (M1) for adding 16 or 2 × π × (their answer to part (a))2

 

267 cm2     (266.662...cm2)     (A1)(ft)     (C3)

Note: Follow through from their part (a).

Examiners report

There were two common errors identified on a number of scripts in this question. In part (a), the majority of candidates correctly wrote down πr2 = 8 for method but a significant number of candidates then went on to write down r = 2.55 (forgetting to square root). Such candidates were able to recover in subsequent parts of the question with the allowable follow through marks, but a method mark and final accuracy mark was lost on many scripts in part (c) with incomplete methods shown for the total surface area of the cylinder. Leaving off the addition of either one or both end surfaces of the cylinder resulted in the final two marks being lost.
