May 2013 SAT Discussion Thread

<p>@joejacob95 pretty positive it wasn’t life. It you went back to the passage it didn’t make sense. I chose beauty but the majority of the ppl in this thread are saying it was sound</p>

<p>hexagon was 96, not 72. can someone explain why the area of the tabletop was 1.5 for x? I chose 1 because when I plugged it in it gave the correct area it asked for :/</p>

<p>@ilovedianaaggron
I put “one should approach it”</p>

<p>was it satisfactory for politics? in 2003 same combined, -3 Diagonal, to enter, Horse question 13 on last writing</p>

<p>@ Syracusefan</p>

<p>I put 2004 as same combined and -4 for the diagonal…</p>

<p>what was the intersection of the two diagonals of a square</p>

<p>i put life because the other ones were too narrow. the passage talked about both the beauty of the flowers and stuff and the sound and you could only pick one choice.</p>

<p>Math questions
Height of initial water? 60
Given circumference 60pi and length 18, find total length of AB? 48
Same cost 2 years in a row? 2004
(x+n)/(4x+n) = 1/3, lowest? 3
Intersection x-coordinate of diagonals? -4</p>

<p>Anyone know question @kingaurora said? Vocab with letter choice A was “courageous bravery” I put that, is it right?</p>

<p>@sweetiieangel: (3 + 2x)(3+x) = 18 + 9. simpliflies to 2(x^2) + 9x - 18= 0. simplifies to (2x -3)(x + 6) = 0. So x can either equal 1.5 or -6. -6 doesnt make sense so…</p>

<p>How in any way was the hexagon answer 96? Im quite sure that is said that the hexagon has a perimeter of 36 and that we were to find the perimeter of the bolded outside. each piece of the hexagon had 2 equilateral triangles and since 36/6=6 thus the perimeter of one piece was 6 and each side was 3. Thus the equilateral triangles sides all had a length of 1. The hexagon was 36, and the equilater triangles made it 12X3 extra. However since the triangles took 1 for every three it put in it should be 12X2=24. 24+36= 60</p>

<p>can someone refresh me of all the topics for the critical reading passages… i remember urban one, the deception dual, and the salsa one what else</p>

I agree, and the “sound” choice didn’t make a lot of sense when it was talking about lawns</p>

<p>Math question where it asked for a+b I think choices were like -6, -7, etc? Might’ve been experimental</p>

<p>im pretty sure its sound</p>

<p>I know for sure “it” was not referencing to “life”.</p>

<p>Did you guys get that math question that was like…which one of these is the excess of 50% of itself multiplied by 10? I was sure I was interpreting the question wrong, so I skipped it :P</p>

<p>I put “life” for it because “life” was kind of used as synonymous with “energy” in the passage and questions. I think it might have been beauty…I agree that sound didn’t make sense when they were talking about lawns and mailbox flags, haha</p>

<p>so the urban one isnt the experimental?!</p>

<p>if the perim of the big hexagon was 36 that meant each side was 6, and since each hexagon side was 3 times the length of the bolded sides, each bold side was 2… there were 48 bolded sides… thus 2*48 is 96</p>

<p>@ Noxsing</p>

<p>I found that each bold segment was 2 units each and there were 48 of them</p>

<p>@bluefyre002
I agree because “sound” didn’t make to much sense either when referring to the lawns</p>
