Should have got 100% on this paper - Nearly EVERYONE in my school got 100% except for 3 kids who got 96% :frown: due to a careless error

or school has 150 people in our year, and yes I asked all of them ...

The grade boundaries will be like 90% + this year, as it was quite easy, and I know many people out of school who got 95+ !

What school do you go too? Yeah and the grade boundaries are usually fairly low, like 80 per cent for A star

Apparently it was 2.25, but how did you get it?

basically you put the formulae in for the surface areas in the fraction.. you factorise then simplify.. and you get h=3r.. then when you write the formulae for the volume instead of writing h you write 3r.. then you get to 9r/4r = 2.25

What did you guys get for the simultaneous equation?

i think it was x=1 and y = -1 and the other one was x = 7/5 and y = -0.2

there were two different answers.. since it was a quadratic.. i checked with my calculator by storing the numbers i got as X and Y and it was right.. one of them was definitely -1 and 1.. forgot what the other one was!
