March 2012 SAT I Math Thread

<p>what was the coordinate that they gave?</p>

<p>(6,4), (0,0), and (a,0)</p>

<p>thanks :slight_smile: (10 char)</p>

<p>Guys so what were the two questions with the answer as 4? Except the range 2.5 to 4.5 question?</p>

<p>@hans
-Area of the quadrilateral with sides tangent to the circle.
-Don’t know about the other one</p>

<p>What did everybody get for that odd grid-in with the exponents and you had to find the product of xyz?</p>

<p>@Deziky
refer to post #26 and #28 in this thread</p>

<p>for the f(x) and g(x) max min question … i was pretty sure it said max of g and min of f… which would be 8</p>

<p>what was the question about with the answer 3.2 (bar graph thing)"??</p>

<p>@littlemeow
Sorry, I read it multiple times to ensure they were both the same. The answer was 6. A stupid mistake like this cost me the 800 on the January test.</p>

<p>@lalala321
It was the kids per family and was 3.2. Something like 0<em>(50)+50</em>(100) etc etc</p>

<p>@liamneeson
was that experimental??
what is the fractional answer…</p>

<p>@Deziky.</p>

<p>1440.</p>

<p>@liamneeson noooo i could i have sworn i read it like 5 times! haha i’m upset. i was aiming for a 750+ and so far i feel like i have 2-3 wrong.</p>

<p>@lalala321
I’m not sure if it was experimental or not, but I know I did have the math experimental action.</p>

<p>What do you mean by the fractional answer?</p>

<p>@littlemeow
Yeah I know what you mean! In January I confused radius with diameter and my only question wrong was rated as easy. And I answered a paired-passage question for the opposite question.</p>

<p>irritating, i’m over the SAT. just a bunch of questions designed to trick you :(</p>

<p>sorry, but can someone please give me the numbers for the bar graph car average 3.2 question…gah i cant remember what I put!</p>

<p>was there a fractional answer for the 3.2 answer as in like you can convert it before rounding it into 3.2</p>

<p>I can’t remember the exact numbers, but it looked something like this <a href=“http://i.imgur.com/t8PWw.png[/url]”>http://i.imgur.com/t8PWw.png&lt;/a&gt; and the numbers of families went something like 50, 150, 250, 400, 300, 200, 100</p>

<p>okay for anyone who wants to know the triangles with 6+2root3, here’s how you do it. draw a line straight down from the 75 degree angle and now you have two triangles. on the right is your 30-60-90, where you’re given the hypotenuse, 4root3. so the bottom is 2root3 and the side leg is 6. on the left side is a 45-45-90 triangle, where you found one leg to be 6, so the bottom is 6 as well. add the bottoms, 6+2root3. alternatively use the law of sines.</p>

<p>was some kind of strange fraction like 4/15 an answer to something…</p>
