I had two simpsons area sides calculated into my answer as I thought there was two sides to the object as the back section (5m x 2m) didn't give any indication to sloping down.

...i cant even remember...but was the surface area of the curved part like a couple of hundred lower than the total volume? remember that there was a NOT TO SCALE sign there.

Yes, the surface area of the curved section was only a couple of hundred lower than the total volume.

You had to do two applications of Simpsons rule for the question - then all you had to do was double that, as it was the same on the other side.

It was a few THOUSAND less than the total SA as well. That 2 was in METRES, not cm. That caught me at first, till I realised it was metres. No way it could be a few hundred less - one of the shapes was 14cm by 2m, which is 14 by 200. Thats 2800.
