9ai. If you added 2*(your hexagon area) to the correct rectangles area then I think you'll get 2 marks.

9bii. I'm really not sure here. I was surprised it was a 5 mark question so I don't know how the marks will be given.

I would guess you'll lose 1 but it could be 2.

I think this will be a very common error.

You'll lose 1 mark for 19 and I'd need to see all your working to know how many you would get for the percentage question.
