<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p>Discuss any general questions about ACT here.</p>
<p>can someone explain and give the answer to the math question that had 2 squares, 1 with a side of 4 and 1 with a side of 5, and they overlapped and had a shaded region in between. any help?</p>
<p>Today is February 12th.</p>
<p>The answer is 4, dude</p>
<p>ROFL @ jon</p>
<p>LOL, idk how i did that, proves the exhaustion from act :P</p>
<p>There was no ACT on Feb. 11! :)</p>

<p>If you rotate the squares to be “aligned”, that is that both have an equal angle to the normal, you can easily compute the area to be 1/4th of the larger square. Rotating the squares doesn’t change the area since the vertex of the larger square is the center of the other.</p>
<p>Hope that helps. PM me if you have any more questions.</p>
<p>Some other questions to consider discussing is the one with the two circles and equilateral triangle inside? I put 2:1.</p>
<p>Well, all of the other answers looked way too small.</p>
