June 14th ACT ****************************

<h1>stone: pretty sure the two triangles are similar/proportional.</h1>

<p>I thought the english/writing and math were easier than the april test, but reading and science were maybe a lil bit harder.</p>

<p>they don't have to be congruent btw, because the sides were never given, only angles are the same. Therefore it's similar triangles, which was the last choice.</p>

<p>i got 10.4 for the law of sines question</p>

<p>it was congruent. ASA</p>

<p>Ah. I don't remember geometry. so bleh. </p>

<p>I probably failed all the triangle stuff and the sohcahtoa stuff...even though I studied that stuff pretty hard.</p>

<p>how about the conservation of energy one?? i put none of the trials?</p>

<p>aww man apoth that sucks it was basically a proportion. sin a/length a = sin b/ length b. cross multiply</p>

<p>lol but you got the right answer congruent</p>

<p>the two right triangles were similar... AAA implies similarity, not continuity</p>

<p>EDIT: woops meant congruity</p>

<p>reichin: me too!</p>

<p>I put "none of the trials," too.</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure the question didn't say "bisected" or "midpoint" or any specific length, just that the two sides were perpendicular, but idk</p>

<p>sry, thats what i meant similar, it was last choice</p>

<p>ohhh yeah... Angle-Angle-Angle. I put similar though because two of the angles were equal, which meant the third angle had to be equal, which meant the were similar?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember any of the answers for the final science passage (the one with the bags) and the final reading section? Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>I thought the test was easy in some respects but very hard in others. For example, I have never studied biology so I had no idea how to answer the phase problem. I also did not know what viscosity is. This disconcerted me because the Real ACT clearly states that no prior knowledge is necessary to complete the test.</p>

<p>i don't know if i was wrong, but i think i put all the trials for the conservation question.</p>

<p>^ i'm SO MAD! i spent my time on the stupid f*king physics and had no time to do the diffusion, which was the easiest thing since i took AP bio.</p>

<p>i got 10.4 for the law of sines problem too.</p>

<p>hmm i put none of the trials.. because energy would be lost because of heat friction</p>

<p>I think if the bag had larger holes when the starch was in the bag then the bag and beaker would be blue, and the one with sugar would be clear or whatever.</p>
