i missing something

Test Preparation

<p>usually i get problems like this but im missing something here</p>

<p>If x is an integer and 2<x<7, how many different triangles are there with sides of lengths 2,7, and x?</p>

<p>A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 5</p>

2

<p>bump!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>It is A. Think about it: The sum of any 2 sides in a triangle is > the other side. So the conditions for this integer is: 2<x<7, x<9+2,="" x+2="">7. Out of all the integers from 3 to 6, only 6 plus 2 is greater than 7</x<7,></p>

4

<p>o i see. i was forgettin the 'x+2>7' :(</p>

5

<p>I thought it was B:</p>

<p>2, (3), 7</p>

<p>2, (4), 7</p>

<p>Each seems to satisfy the conditions (the number in parenthesis is the value of x). Maybe I'm missing something.</p>

<p>P.S.- Where did you get this problem?</p>

6

<p>the answer is A, and i got it from the 10 Real SAT's White book</p>

7

<p>Can you explain it again? I don't understand what il bandito is talking about.</p>

<p>I got B because I thought the rule was like this:
7+2> x
9 > x
The sum of 2 sides of a triangle is > than the other one</p>

<p>7-2<x
5<x
When you subtact a big side from a little side, the difference is < than the other side</p>

<p>6 is the only one that fits all of the req.</p>

<p>Oh, nm. I meant I got A, too. ^_^;</p>

8

<p>lol, we all get confused sometimes :)</p>

9

<p>Oooops lol...</p>

10

<p>Oh, wait. Now I see where I got B. Number 7 AND 6 can both fit the credentials. Right?</p>

11

<p>less than 7. not less than or equal to 7</p>

<p>all SAT questions are easy, its just the wording or how the problem is presented that makes it hard.</p>

14

<p>uh idk what it was rated, but it was near the end so medium/hard</p>

My guess is that its medium, then. <em>sigh</em> I thought I actually got a hard question right for once.</p>
