    This is my new online course - it contains around 3 hours of video, quizzes and a copy of my book 'How to get an A in maths.' All the way through to GCSE and just in time for revision.
    This video deals with a grade 3 GCSE question. It should be fairly straightforward but try to use a methodical 'step by step' approach.
    i hope it helps and please do leave a comment below - thanks.

    You are an angel! I have been looking at so many videos, they talk so much and I understand them so little. You give us the short and sweet explanation that I can actually understand! I may be going over the top with my comment but really, you have no idea how grateful I am to your videos! Thank you!

    Hi - you'd need to know the depth. The area would be 1/2 (base x height) so:
    1/2 (5 x 15) = 37.5 square inches.
    Once you know the depth you should be able to work out the volume.
    I hope this helps and all best
