November Math: Two squares and one circle!

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I thought the answer could be in the range of sqrt(2)/2 - 1.5? It asked for radius, not diameter didn't it? So there was no need to find the diagonal of the square. </p>

<p>Thanks, I put 0.75</p>

2

<p>No. its 1<x<1.5</p>

3

<p>thanks gensis, I have a question though</p>

<p>What score do you think I’ll get if I get 1 wrong in multiple choice and 1 wrong in student response (grid-ins) thanks</p>

<p>You HAD to find the diagonal of the square because you just solved for the circle being circumscribed in the first square. Think about it. Even if you went slightly more than sqrt2/2, your circle would still intersect with the corner because that is where it reaches out the farthest. Since it reaches out the farthest at the diagonal at a measure of 1, then your number had to be greater than 1.</p>

<ol>
<li>If you get another wrong, your lucky because grid-ins dont have point penalities.</li>
</ol>

6

<p>really? 1 wrong hits me down to a 760? I find that kind of hard to believe</p>

7

<p>No, you have 2 wrong. Grid-ins dont take off 0.25 points.</p>

8

<p>gahh, i see i see. thanks</p>

9

<p>Wait grid ins dont deduct points? Nice!</p>

10

<p>I beliebe the worst scenario happened to me:
I put 1.</p>

11

<p>same…put 1…■■■</p>

12

<p>On the June 2010 SAT, I got 1 wrong and a 760. It happened before.</p>

13

<p>Ouch :P. I almost put 1… and I was like WAIT THATS TOUCHING lol</p>
