<p>whats the answer to the spools meeps one</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It does not. Take out your calculator and plug in tan^-1(pi). Then plug in [tan(pi)]^-1.
If you are in radians, you will get 0 for the first, and 1.262627256… for the second. In degrees, you will get 72.3432185… then you will get .0548861508…</p>

<p>omg linger that question was weird as hell. Smools, meeps, and blins!</p>

<p>what about the question with the rectangle garden, was it 8 by 18?</p>

<p>Wasn’t it something like all limpins (forget the name) are blins?
Not sure though, I went too quickly through that one.</p>

<p>Anonymous is correct, I put tan-1(3/25). You don’t flip the number.</p>

<p>What was the one that said the plane went from 270 to 180 and it was linear motion? I put arithmetic difference of 90, but others put something different.</p>

<p>no college, it was 6x24</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>then tan^-1 is the same as tan, that doesnt make sense…</p>

<p>I said the geometric difference of 2/3…and 90…and inverse tan of 3/25…</p>

<p>blehhh it was hard for me to focus cause it started storming in the middle of math :(</p>

<p>Were the volumes the same for the rectangle one with the top as the same area and they have the same height? Just wanna make sure…</p>

<p>@Linger:</p>

<p>[tanx</a> = 3/25 - Wolfram|Alpha](<a href=“tanx = 3/25]tanx - Wolfram|Alpha”>tanx = 3/25 - Wolfram|Alpha)</p>

<p>difference of 90? No. if you threw the ball from a height of 2 cm, would you rebound with 88 cm? That was my thinking</p>

<p>its arithmatic cuase if its 90 then that means that it will reach a height of >0 which is impossible. Also if you have taken physics you should know that it is geometric</p>

<p>samii, those were both correct, i believe, and Linger i also got equal volumes because Base X Height = Volume, and since equal height and base, they must be the same</p>

<p>the one with the 60% and 70% and the corresponding gal of gas used, was the answer 9.4?</p>

<p>I also put equal volume.</p>

<p>It’s not Arithmetic, Im 1000% positive. That simply doesn’t make sense, especially w/ physics.</p>

<p>^Yes.</p>

<p>Anyone else for Keisha weight? I put |w+5| < p</p>

<p>I put a too, and 6,9, 13 i think!</p>

<p>I read Keisha as Ke$ha.
It should’ve been Ke$ha.</p>
