Question 8:         43.30cm2

Question 9:         11.31cm or 22.80cm

Question 10:      12.92cm

Question 11:      12ft and 13ft

Question 12:      Last line should read        x=20cm NOT 200cm

Question 13:      Third line should read     25 + x2 = 169          (she has squared incorrectly)

Then      x2 = 144

              x = 12cm

Question 14:      He has labelled the sides the wrong way, c should be the longest side                                      (25cm)

Second line should read    49 + x2 = 625

Then       x2 = 576

                x = 24cm
