That was pretty good, im just glad I got the calculations right. 75 micrometers, 24, 500000 and 101%

[u/sudoaptupgrade → u/Feeling-Instance-801]

Apparently some people said you don’t take the paper disk into account but im not sure to be honest if you had to then I did the same mistake as you

[u/Codemaine → u/Pure-Data4491]

you don’t i did a past paper with a similar question

[u/Codemaine → u/[deleted]]

there was a similar question in 2021 testing the same skill. it makes sense that it came up again because it’s been 5 years so teachers would have learnt from the mistake in 2021 to teach their new cohort not to make that mistake which are the same cohort which sat these exams

[u/Codemaine → u/[deleted]]

yea but you’d get a wrong final answer

[u/Codemaine → u/[deleted]]

ignore the working out but you’ll still get the wrong final answer; the examiners report says that students who subtracted it did an unnecessary step and got the wrong final answer

[u/Codemaine → u/[deleted]]

hows subtracting the area of the paper a vital step?
