May 7, 2005 NEW SAT - OFFICIAL THREAD

<p>I wrote about outdoor bbq's</p>

<p>phew...i went with 40pi simply because it obviously had to be a little larger than 36pi...but i was having doubts that maybe it was even the next one up,</p>

<p>im just curious, how did you guys solve it?</p>

<p>does anyone remember specifically what the juan question was</p>

<p>madskier, "Makes sense 10 people in front, him, 19 in back equals 30" 10+19 does indeed equal 29, but 10+1+19 = 30.</p>

<p>Did anyone have a reading passage about Africa, and how the narrator's father grew up there and told his kids stories about it? It had this paragraph on photographs.</p>

<p>re: square and circle</p>

<p>Draw the diameter of the circle. Draw a line parallel to the side of the square through one of the points that trisects the side. (its length is 12)</p>

<p>Use the pythagorean th. to find the diameter.</p>

<p>yea - it sounds like there was more than one version, i dont remember 40pi</p>

<p>Yes, my stupid mistake. I already appologized for it. Lets blame canada instead</p>

<p>i had some passage about domestic animals and cats vs dogs or something</p>

<p>and captain bligh</p>

<p>and jazz in africa</p>

<p>ooh sorry dude, i forgot to refresh the thread, i apologize for the redundancy</p>

<p>Did anyone get the two tangent circles and the tangent line, and it said to find the line segment RS when the diamaters were 6 and 1?</p>

<p>Yep, 101. I solved it using the quadratic formula by setting p^2-100p equal to zero. In this case, P=100. But P is not prime so P must be the next greatest prime number, 101. Plug that in and get m=101.</p>

<p>i also had the captain, blues in africa, but nothing about cats and dogs</p>

<p>I am in agreement with stix. gj</p>

<p>rachel10214: I posted it earlier</p>

<p>I think that collegeboard had many many different tests made up. For instance, I had a passage about cats and dogs when some had one about barn animals. </p>

<p>Reading main passages (for me):
One on physcology of majority in groups
One on a blues researcher
One on Captain Bligh
One on a teacher who never allowes kids liberties</p>

<p>got it, thx victor</p>

<p>yes i had african pictures, not african jazz, but i had an experimental reading so i dunno what thats worth to you lol...</p>

<p>i however, did not have the juan question, and i obv didnt have an experimental math</p>

<p>jman- answer was sqrt13-1</p>

<p>i had the cats/dogs, jazz, and bligh as well</p>

<p>jman, i got radical13 - 1 or something like that</p>

<p>re: reading passages</p>

<p>*about Marya and Imogen
*about Africa and photos
*about science fiction, past, future, and space</p>
