Higher November 2021 Paper 2 Q22
22 The diagram shows a sphere of diameter \(x\) cm and a pyramid \(ABCDE\) with a horizontal rectangular base \(BCDE\).

Diagram NOT accurately drawn
The vertex \(A\) of the pyramid is vertically above the centre \(O\) of the base so that \(AB = AC = AD = AE\).
\(BC = x\) cm, \(CD = 2x\) cm and \(AO = 5x\) cm.
The volume of the sphere is \(288\pi\) cm3
Calculate the total surface area of the pyramid.
Give your answer correct to the nearest cm2

Notes
M1: for using the formula for the volume of a sphere correctly and equating it to \(288\pi\)
M1: (dep on first M1 and using their value for \(x\)) for using Pythagoras to find the perp height of faces CAD or BAE
or
a correct method to find angle CAD or BAE
M1: (dep on first M1 and using their value for \(x\)) for using Pythagoras to find the perp height of faces ABC or AED
or
a correct method to find angle BAC or DAE
M1: (dep on first M1 using their value for \(x\) and correct working for heights of each triangle) for working out the total surface area of the pyramid
A1: 2469 - 2470
