~~~~January SAT Official Math Discussion~~~~

<p>I believe the answer was 9</p>

<p>i got 1/2 for whatever it was, i think</p>

<p>did you get 4k/3 for the exponent thing?</p>

<p>i put 9</p>

<p>123
234
345
456
567
678
789
89(10)
9(10)(11)</p>

<p>oh crap...stupid mistake</p>

<p>yea 4k/3 </p>

<p>wat did you guys get for the square board and the # of squares in the boundaries?</p>

<p>52 i think</p>

<p>16/10.... it took me a really long time</p>

<p>1.6 is a different one I believe...the # of squares in the boundaries is a multiple choice questions, not a grid-in.</p>

<p>ohhh ok 25 if the square's 7x7</p>

<p>haha i was drawing it out because i had so much time left</p>

<p>isnt it like the number of squares not in boundary = n - 2</p>

<p>so i did...</p>

<p>n^2 - (not in boundary)^2 = k</p>

<p>14^2 - 12^2 = 52</p>

<p>I out that there was only one other rectangle that could be drawn in the circle. I have no clue if I am right, it seemed like a better answer at the time ecspecially beause I now realize that a sqaure would have a perimeter of 12(root2). ):</p>

<p>The only other that I was unsure of was the number of solutions to the simoultaneous equations. I worked it out really quickly and did'nt double check. Does anyone know the definite answer or at least the exact question.</p>

<p>no i think 1.6 was a grid in</p>

<p>i got 52 and 9</p>

<p>?? wasn't the question which is a possible number squares were on a boundary?</p>

<p>Oh crap I know I didn't buble 1.6 in for anything</p>

<p>7*7 has 26 boundary squares</p>

<p>did anyone bubble in 4/5 or for anything? What was the answer for the second grid-in?</p>

<p>no it has 25</p>

<p>The grid I know I got. I tried a couple out and realized that the formula for boundary squares was (n^2)-(n^(n-2)) which is the total square minus the blocks inside of it. I tried all the choice until n=14 which gave me 52. I was about to give up because I was getting answrs really close to the choices but no actual ones.</p>

<p>I got 52 squares.</p>

<p>after redoing the problem for the boundaries question I think the answer is 52.</p>

<p>The solution should be a 14X14 square.</p>

<p>The top row will give 14 squares.
The row on the right will have 13 squares.
The bottom row will have 13 squares.
The left row will have 12 squares.</p>
