Geometry Regents June 2017

Yeah it was

@SuicidalSith

@ughggg123 ok, thanks

I got 48 pi because the dimensions to make it 32 pi didnt look like a cone

How much partial credit do they give? Like I got the first part of the airplane question wrong, so does that automatically mean I get the whole question wrong? The same went for the gas tank problem. Can you get 1-2 points just by showing work?

For porving the point is not a.square i used slope and i think i used distance but i might or not have crossed that out before putting my ginal answer. I used midpoints of diagnals for the rhombus is that right and i think i might have shown eork for distance but maybe i crossed out the work. Do you think i will get partial credit or half credit.

I believe that 32 pi is correct because the problem said rotated around side AB not AC (which is the side I automatically assumed).

This was the hardest geometry test I’ve ever taken and I’m in an honors class. It was insane. So far I know 3 mc that I got wrong (the stupid isosceles triangles in the rhombus one… are you kidding me I only saw the little scalene ones) and made a mistake on the dilation. Somehow got the points for the 6 pointers and cube root question I think even though I’ve never touched a cube root in my life.

Did you use slope distance or midpoint of diagonals for proving a rhombus and not a square

@empireswimmer706 partial credit is awarded depending on your route to solving the problem, so if you were to get the concept correct but use incorrect numbers then you would receive possibly 1-2 points. If it were a mistake with rounding, or misplacing numbers then you wouldn’t lose a lot

Oh and I’m also in a Honors Geometry class. All material on the exam was covered throughout my year, however Cavalieri’s Principle was covered in my volume unit briefly covered and not mentioned again (due to it’s low frequency on the regents).
Here’s my tip for the regents:
Expect the unexpected

For that question isosceles wasn’t the answer

I actually think isosceles was one of the answers even though I didn’t put it. a rhombus does have 2 isosceles triangles in it. I I only saw the 4 and I was like nah these are all scalene

never mind, a rhombus does have 4 isosceles, but not the 4 that are created by the diagonals

Yeah, pretty sure isosceles was the answer. You had to look at the triangles formed by the actual sides and not the scalene triangles formed by the diagonals. Rediculous and confusing question imo.

I also messed up the 151 one…totally did not catch the conversion ugh.

There’s no way that is right. The diagonals do form 4 congruent triangles but not iscoceles. The diagonals in a rhombus are never equal means none of the sides are equal in the triangle. Plus it had to be a right iscoceles triangle meaning it must be a triangle formed by the diagonals

It wasn’t 54 because if you solve for all the other angles, the angles in the quadrilateral don’t add to 360. But I got 36 and all the angles were correct and the angles add up to 360 on the quadrilateral

Nvm I see what ur saying about that rhombus thing. Do u know if you can retake the regents if u pass it?

yeah you will definitely get credit. they follow ur mistake so u should only lose 1
point

no, it was 54- where are u getting 36 from?

The last question was 210 mph
