<p>nikkigirl, what was the question?
There were quite a few trig questions and I'm not sure which one you are referring to.</p>

<p>the tan=2a/a is just 2... the log i thought was -1... log baseX ((X^2)/(X^11)), right?</p>

<p>what about the pentagon one, i couldn't figure that out.</p>

<p>Ok, The question about which slope would not change the area of the triangle was 0. A=b*h/2. If the point B would just move to the side the base and height would be the same. </p>

<p>The question with the nickels was 21.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the question to the If all tricolor cats are female cats question?</p>

<p>i dont remember the specific angle names, but the external angle was the greatest and the inner one was the smallest? dont quote me on that one lol</p>

<p>No, I don't think the answer to the triangle question is "31." They give you two sides 28 and 15, but they never tell you that it's a right triangle so you can't use the Pythagorean Thm.</p>

<p>the two smallest sides must add up to be greater than the largest side, so the answer was 31.</p>

<p>yea that was it.... nikki. and the deductive cat one.. was if the cat isn't female, therefore it isn't tricolored. and i got slope 0 for that one too</p>

<p>how many do you think missing 5-6 would equal on this hard version of th emath? a lot of people said that it was harder than other ACT math sections</p>

<p>And when you use the Pythagorean Thm, the answer comes out to be 32 or 31.7; not 31.</p>

<p>For that Triangle Question:</p>

<p>la-bl<c<a+b</p>

<p>Pyth Theorem had nothing to do with that question... the lengths of the two smaller sides must be greater than the length of the hyp., therefore only 31 worked</p>

<p>wat was the last one where u can move the line and the area would stay the same the slope of line AB or something. I just found the slope thats it? Why would u do the perpendicular line? slope of 0 means a straight line than it wont be a triangle???</p>

<p>The one with the logic one (femal and tricolor) was easy.</p>

<p>You just need to know how to take the contrapositive.</p>

<p>If a cat is a female, then it is a tricolor.
then If a cat is not a tricolor then it is not a female.</p>

<p>P----> Q then ~Q---->~P</p>

<p>For those in ohio... Did any of you have a ferris wheel problem?? I had no clue how to do that one.. i guessed something like 12+40-40sin(alpha)...</p>

<p>*** is the p->q and q->p thing</p>

<p>That doesn't exist.</p>

<p>Think about it.</p>

<p>If a square is a rectangle then is a rectangle a square.</p>

<p>OBVIOUSLY NOT.</p>

<p>If something is a square then it is a rectangle</p>

<p>if something is not a rectangle, then it is not a square</p>

<p>lol that was the easiest logic question</p>

<p>can we please come to a consensus on the 2nd to last question, the one with point C traveling on a line? there seems to be varying answers. I, myself, put -1/2, but what do i know?</p>
