| 43 final answer | 4 | B3 for 43.2 OR M1 for 120 x 180 implied by 21600 M1 for their 120 x 180 \(\div\) 10000 may be implied by 2.16 or 2 hectares and 1600 or 20 000 and 1600 M1 for their 2.16 \(\times\) 20 If 0 scored instead award SC1 for answer 40 | Allow alternate methods e.g. M1 for 120 x 180 implied by 21600 M1 \(\dfrac{10000}{20} = 500\) M1 for their \(\dfrac{21600}{500}\) Their 2.16 must come from multiplication to find area |
