<p>navyblue... what???</p>
<p>wow this thing fills up so fast i dont think it was such a great idea to only make one thread about SAT's</p>
<p>Well, it was wonderful for me. :) My proctor is cool and I finished the whole essay with 3/4 inch left on the last line.</p>
<p>nanodot: I frankly don't care what you say.</p>
<p>I can understand where the problem's coming at now, I misread it I suppose. The answer is 12pi.</p>
<p>okay, think about it. first, you take 1/2 of the circumference of the larger circle. the diameter of the larger circle is 6. thus, 1/2 of the circumference would be 3pi.</p>
<p>next, you take twice of half of the circumference of each of the smaller circles. in other words, that's one full circumference. the diameter of the smaller circle is 3pi.</p>
<p>thus, 3pi + 3pi = 6 pi.</p>
<p>no... the radius of the small circles is 3... the entire big circle is 12pi... 3x2x2 is it's diameter... u were right</p>
<p>navyblue: I think cujoe and the others are right. 6pi only takes into consideration the perimeter of the semi-circle on the outside. It doesn't take into consideration the little semi-circles inside.</p>
<p>No..it's 12 pi. Think about it. The circum. of the big circle is 12pi. But we only have half of it, so its 6pi. Then we have the shaded chunk sticking out. Thats half of that circumference, so its 3pi. Then we have the unshaded circle sticking into the shaded area. We count the top of that circle and that is 3pi. Therfore 6 + 3 + 3 = 12 pi.</p>
<p>diameter of larger circle is 12</p>
<p>Its most definitely 12pi. The Radius of the big circle is 6 is it not? That would make the complete circle's circumference 12pi, but its only half of it, so thats 6pi, correct so far, but then there is the squiggle around the two smaller circles. Each has a radius of 3, so that would mean the circumference is 6pi/2=3pi. Add the large semi circle 6pi + each semi circle of the smaller ones +3pi +3pi, and the answer is 12pi.</p>
<p>Which verbal was experimental??????????????</p>
<p>claridge, again i want to apologize for the condescending tone my previous post was written in, i guess i'm just a little frazzled by the whole sat thing...</p>
<p>OH THANK GOD. there's still a chance for an 800 math. i can breathe.</p>
<p>hyper, many of us had different verbal experimentals. for example, I had a lively one about disney land. I am unable to find anyone else who had this one.</p>
<p>Did anyone think that this passage is boring and difficult? I personally found it to be stupid and useless. I couldn't understand the passage even though I read it 20+ times. I know that this one is NOT an experimental section bc I only had three CR sections. Does anyone remember any question from that passage so we can discuss about it.....</p>
<p>the SAT was torturing.</p>
<p>no, the radius of the smaller circle was 3, not the diameter. Thus, the diameter of the smaller circle would be 6, making the circumference of the smaller semi circle to be 3pi. Because there were two semi circles, you get (3pi)(2) which is 6 pi. You then add that to the larger semicircle (diameter=12), resulting in 6pi+6pi=12pi</p>
<p>So is there a chance that the old arrogant lady narrative will be experimental???</p>
<p>no, I doubt it...because everyone who had it also had that one...for example, I had that old lady one and I had the disney one. so, lady one=real thing ; (</p>
<p>old arrogant lady? If that's the one where she has a daughter who got rich and the old lady goes back to Volunteer Street to visit her friends, it's not going to be experimental to my knowledge</p>
<p>for the grammar section..i had 2 long ones and 1 short one. does it mean one of the long ones is an experimental?</p>
