| Alternative method 1 | ||
| \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times (22 + 18) \times (25 - 10)\) or \(15 \times 18 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 4\) | M1 | oe |
| 300 | A1 | |
| Alternative method 2 | ||
| \(20 \times 15\) | M1 | |
| 300 | A1 | |
Additional guidance
Alternative method 2 uses average velocity \(\times\) time
