| Answer | Mark | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Yes (supported) | M1 | method to find volume of one cube, eg \(2 \times 2 \times 2\) or \(2^3\ (= 8)\) or draws a solid of 6 cubes |
| C1 | Yes with supporting evidence eg \(2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8\), \(8 \times 6 = 48\) |
| Answer | Mark | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| (i) cuboid drawn | B1 | either a 1 by 6 by 1 cuboid (2 cm by 12 cm by 2 cm) or a 2 by 3 by 1 cuboid (4 cm by 6 cm by 2 cm) drawn |
| (ii) 104 or 88 | M1 | ft for finding areas of 3 or more faces of their cuboid and adding |
| A1 | for 104 or 88 |
