A-level AQA DT Product Design Paper 2 June 2024

bro you supposed to calculate cost of ONE chair package. Answer was £8.64 or 8.65 rounded

What?
The volume of the shipping container was 12 x 2.5 x 2.5 metres
The volume of one chair was 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 metres
The cost of shipping the container is £3000
To find the cost of shipping for one chair, you do (0.6)^3 / 12 x 2.5 x 2.5 times 3000 which gives you £8.64

I got £9.34 was is not 4x4x20 boxes

If I'm wrong then so are all of the other people on this thread who have said £8.64 was the answer 😂

Yeah and that assumes that the boxes fit perfectly in the container which they don’t so you can only fit 4 across 4 high and 20 deep ur wrong

🫡 I salute you

Yes and u can’t fit anymore than 320 boxes in the container (4x4x20) so it’s £3000/320 which it’s £9.38

What did you guys get in your NEA out of curiosity?

...if you read his post, it says that 347.222 chairs can fit in the container. So you can fit 347. Not 320.

Ey nice! I wish it were still a 60:40 split between NEA and theory

99, praying it doesn't get brought down though lol

I'll share a page just to demonstrate

I taught myself CAD and Blender prior to doing DT A Level so I think that's partly why my NEA did well

Like what?

Can anyone go over that prism final maths question to see how they got the answer?

So you do sin to measure the height of the cuboid. 25sin18 x 215 is the volume. Then volume /3 and you get 554 3sf
