Observation

(a).This is one of the questions where candidates performed very well. It required candidates to know the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle and apply it using correct substitution. This question involved calculating the volume of a rectangular pyramid given the values of the base and height. It was well answered by most candidates who were able to recall the relevant formula correctly or use the one provided in their booklet for Mathematical tables and formulae.
