100 = 1 3 π r 2 ( 8 )     (M1)

 

Note:     Award (M1) for correct substitution into volume of cone formula.

 

r = 3.45  (cm)  ( 3.45494  (cm) )     (A1)     (C2)

[2 marks]

a.

l 2 = 8 2 + ( 3.45494 ) 2     (M1)

 

Note:     Award (M1) for correct substitution into Pythagoras’ theorem.

 

l = 8.71  (cm)  ( 8.71416  (cm) )     (A1)(ft)     (C2)

 

Note:     Follow through from part (a).

 

[2 marks]

b.

π × 3.45494 × 8.71416     (M1)

 

Note:     Award (M1) for their correct substitutions into curved surface area of a cone formula.

 

= 94.6  c m 2   ( 94.5836  c m 2 )     (A1)(ft)     (C2)

 

Note:     Follow through from parts (a) and (b). Accept 94.4  c m 2 from use of 3 sf values.
