<p>nop, thats the triangle one, you find the hypotenuse of one of the triangles which is sqrt2 and that hypotenuse is the leg of another triangle that has 1 as its other leg, so the hypotenuse of that triangle is sqrt3.</p>

<p>there’s this qn about which of the following can be folded into a cube. i got an extra math section not sure whether this qn is in the experimental section. can anyone help?</p>

<p>@Ownage11: That would be experimental.</p>

<p>ownage I got that too!</p>

<p>cool beans. thank god then. screwed that qn up. anyhow you sure you havent done that then? there were 3 diagrams of squares arranged in some order.</p>

<p>@nyuismydream i dont know. i got that wrong. 2 of 3 apparently could make a cube. anyhow, i hope its experimental.</p>

<p>experimental, my experimental was writing and I didn’t have that question in math.</p>

<p>qn: temperature. t=20.5?</p>

<p>i think i got 10 wrapped chocolates</p>

<p>its definitely 0</p>

<p>for the distance from point T to line L. the diagram showed the bottom AND the top angle was 90 degrees. also, whenever one is asked to find the distance, it is always asking for the shortest distance. the question was not ambiguous at all. one just needed to know the definition of “distance” as finding the shortest distance</p>

<p>@Ownage11: Yes, t = 20.5 . Luckily i could do that without even working it out cause i knew 343 was at room temperature in celsius which was 20.5 :smiley: Yay for AP Physics B</p>

<p>@ nyuismydream:</p>

<p>As for the question about the distance between the point and line l, I can guarantee that the lower angle had the right angle symbol too. The answer was 4 and cannot be anything else. Don’t panic ;)</p>

<p>i got a different math experimental. one with a question like “If point (0,0) is rotated 180 degrees clockwise around point P, it forms point (a,-a). What is the value of a?”</p>

<p>I was like naw.</p>

<p>Did anyone get 180 as an answer? I don’t remember the problem. I think parallel lines/triangles.</p>

<p>What was the wording on the 3/4 slope one again? </p>

<p>I think I mis-read it or something.</p>

<p>@princeton whats the question u got 4 as the answer? experimentaL?</p>

<p>how can it not be anything else but 4? 5 is a possible answer if you create a Pythagorean triple.</p>

<p>can anyone remember what the prompt was for the the 10 choices for food answer?</p>

<p>@Perceyshelley: The question was: A girl can choose between 5 biographies and 2 novels. She has to do a report on one from each category. How many options does she have?</p>
