25 Here is a cuboid.
(a) Assume that the total surface area of the cuboid is \(200\ \text{cm}^2\)
Work out the volume of the cuboid. [3 marks]
(b) In fact, the total surface area of the cuboid is smaller than \(200\ \text{cm}^2\)
What does this mean about the volume of the cuboid?
Tick one box. [1 mark]
- It is smaller than the answer to part (a)
- It is bigger than the answer to part (a)
- It is the same as the answer to part (a)
- It could be any of the above

| \(200 - 2 \times 5 \times 5\) or \(200 - 50\) or 150 or \(4 \times 5 \times y\) or \(20y\) | M1 | oe eg \(5y + 5y + 5y + 5y\) implied by 37.5 or answer 937.5 |
| \(4 \times 5 \times y = 200 - 2 \times 5 \times 5\) or \(4 \times 5 \times y = 200 - 50\) or \(4 \times 5 \times y = 150\) or \(150 \div 4 \div 5\) or \(150 \div 20\) or 7.5 | M1dep | oe eg \(20y = 150\) |
