The base was 14, I halved it so the base was 7 so I could work out the height. But I’ve just realised that I think I put the area as only the area of half the triangle, I think I forgot to work out the whole triangle after finding the height eugh! 😮😪

I knew it would take up too much time so thought it was better to just leave it and concentrate on others

whilst this paper was easier then the first it had the same issue of the more simpler questions with more marks just being too time consuming and having too much writing and explanation.
