Act math section february 2012

<p>post answers here and discussion</p>

<p>Was the answer 1/2 for the one with the three rows all of equal area with A, B, and C? I had no idea how to do it, but I got 1/2 with what I tried.</p>

<p>can u be more specific?</p>

<p>Oh, got it, yes the answer was 1/2</p>

<p>It was like what was the chance of hitting one of the “B” sections. It was the “large rectangle” question.</p>

<p>answer to the dice question ? (1 1 1 6 6 6)</p>

<p>are we aloud to talk about the questions</p>

<p>and pretty sure the dice one is 1/2 times 1/2 so 1/4</p>

<p>what was the answer to the one where you had to find the area of the two triangles that would go up against the ramp</p>

<p>Win :slight_smile: Got it right</p>

<p>no it was 1/2, there were 4 dif combos that the dice could land on…6 6, 1 1, 1 6, and 6 1.
2 of those equal 7</p>

<p>2 triangles was 11 I think. The area was 10.5 and it said the nearest answer.</p>

<p>Anyone know the answer to (w+x+y+z) one?</p>

<p>faux the answer was A. don’t remember what it was. See below</p>

<p>(w+x)^2-(y+z)^2</p>

<p>it was (W+X)^2-(Y+X)^2</p>

<p>so was the nice with 1 1 1 6 6 6… 1/2 or 1/4</p>

<p>it was 1/2</p>

<p>actually it may not have been 1/2</p>

<p>yea i didnt know b/w 1/2 and 1/4…the dice question was the toughest math one for me lol.</p>
