Examiners report

SL:

Either done very well or not understood. Missing units in this question saw the final mark withheld, but
this was not a common occurrence. The most common mistake was either to find ⅕ of the volume of the
ice cream or to simply subtract 0.2 from the volume of the sphere.

Part (a) was mostly full marks, quite a few did not round to 3 sf, so 131.7 was a popular answer. Only a few
missed the last mark because of the lack of units.

HL:

This question was well answered by many candidates although some candidates lost a mark by not
giving the units in (a) and others lost a mark in (b) by not giving the answer to the nearest cm2.

The cone has a slant height of 11 cm and a radius of 3 cm.

The outside of the cone is covered with chocolate.

(b) Calculate the surface area of the cone that is covered with chocolate. Give your answer
correct to the nearest cm2. [2]

In part (b) very few had 3.4 instead of 3 on the formula, so they lost all marks. Some students seemed to
have used random surface area formulae from the booklet to perform this surface area calculation.

[2 marks]

Examiners report

Whilst many candidates used trigonometry correctly and identified the angle of 10. 5° earning both
marks in part (a), some candidates went on to identify the incorrect angle of elevation by finding
the complementary angle as their final answer. In part (b), only a minority of candidates wrote down
an incorrect Pythagorean equation and thus earned no marks although some candidates followed a
correct statement and could earn the method mark. In part (c) writing a number in standard form, either
correct or correct following an error in a previous part, was generally well done.

two broad groups: the first is to find the altitude of the triangle, and compare it to 20, and the second is to
create an artificial triangle with an altitude of 20 and explain why this triangle is not ABC by relating to
area and the given lengths of the sides.
