Math Problem

<p>What did everyone get for the rectangle with the squares cut out and height 2??</p>

<p>9x13</p>

<p>Add four to each dimension since 2 was cut out from each side.</p>

<p>^ Huh?</p>

<p>......</p>

<p>You had a box with dimensions 5x9x2. That means that before the box was cut, the 2 in the height dimension made a 2x2 square on each end of the 2-d sheet of metal. So, add 4 to each dimension.</p>

<p>AHH omg i think i only added 2 to each....was 7 by 11 an answer choice</p>

<p>Yes, but there was a square on every end.</p>

<p>yeah careless mistake...i made a diagram with 4 squares cut out from each corner.
my bad.</p>

<p>yeah 7 x 11 was a choice.
aw shoot i think i did the same thing! :(</p>

<p>I put 7x11 :/</p>

<p>9x13 but I'm still mad about the theater one (does anyone remember if 45 was a choice)</p>

<p>the theater question with the 100 seats 1st row,99 2nd row,98 3rd row, and so on?</p>

<p>Wasn't it 100, 101, 102...?</p>

<p>Yes it was 100, 101..</p>

<p>was it?lol. I prob read it wrong.</p>

<p>yea it ended up at 39
I am still mad, at the time, I could not think straight due to the battle of a 5-hour energy shot vs. my fatigue from not being able to sleep last night. grrrr....ACT MATH</p>

<p>I completely guessed on the theatre seat one, and I put down 39! I am ecstatic.</p>

<p>wat exactly was the wording of the theatre problem againn??</p>

<p>it was from the sold-out concert of 4000. The first row is 100,then 99,98,and so forth. </p>

<p>I think they were asking how many seats were in the last row.</p>

<p>The theater question stated that the theater could hold 4,000 spectators. The first row was 100 seats, and every row after that would have one additional seat. The seats continue in this fashion until there is little room ( or something like that) for seats. Find the number of seats in the last row.</p>

<p>No, it was 100 in the first row, then 101, then 102, etc. The last row was how many seats were left over when there weren't enough to make another full row. <em>referring to KoreanBoi92</em></p>
