| \(60\times96 - 40\times\pi\times6^2\) | M3 | May be seen in stages. FT their 40 provided between 6 and 50 inclusive M2 for \(40\times\pi\times6^2\) M1 for \(60\times96 - k\pi\) sight of \(\pi\times6^2\) or 113(.09..) |
| Answer in the range 1235.5 to 1238.4(cm2) | A1 | CAO. If no marks, allow M1 for sight of \(\pi\times6^2\) or 113(.09..) seen in (a) or by the diagram |
