for math question with RECTANGLE in circle

<p>under the constraints of the problem, mathematically the answer is that arbitrarily many such rectangles can exist. </p>

<p>If the SAT says different, it messed up.</p>

<p>damn. i put 4.</p>

<p>Wasn't the answer 4+?</p>

<p>a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4 or more</p>

<p>nope. it's infinity. don't worry johnny, i put 4 too.</p>

<p>a)1
b)2
c)3
d)4
e)infinity</p>

<p>Slorg: I realize that other rectangles can fit; the point was they were giving you a particular shape that did fit, and then asked how many times a shape that fits in one positions fits in different positions.</p>

<p>Infinity wasn't an answer in that form. It was something like this:</p>

<p>(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) 3
(E) 4+</p>

<p>The whole purpose of showing us the points is to tell us that it actually is possible to have a rectangle of perimeter 12 in that particular circle. Some circles cannot circumscribe rectangles of perimeter 12, and because of that, the SAT had to qualify the fact that this circle could.</p>

<p>It's just that simple, the answer is E) 4 or more</p>

<p>really? i thought 4 and infinity are different answers. if not, then yay!</p>

<p>no the answer choices were
A)1
B)2
C)3
D)4
E)4+</p>

<p>bobobabob is correct with the answer choices, e) more than 4</p>

<p>and i understand the logic of the infinity answer, it just seemed to obvious i guess, i duno</p>

<p>yea there are always 5 choices, also i dont think CB has ever thrown out a math question</p>
