October 2010 Math SAT Thread

<p>3a-20 is what I got.</p>

<p>@jwilliams93 do you think today was harder or easier? im thinking -1 and an omitted. i breezed over the dice question and put 1/108 without reading. (this is from a kid with a 5 on AP stat exam :slight_smile: ) I also skipped the last question of the section which started with number one being “if u at 10^2 to this number which digit increases”</p>

<p>Is the section with the problem b=1/a experimental? if not, i put that the answer was -1/b?</p>

<p>how did you get it though, for that question alone I used up all of my check time, because it is so rare I get stumped by a math question. I had all these diagrams and computations but just couldn’t seem to get it</p>

<p>what about the one with that gave two sides of the triangle and said the one opposite to the obtuse angle was 8</p>

<p>What was the answer for the shaded/unshaded circle where you had to find x, the number of degrees in the unshaded part of the circle. Or was that experimental?</p>

<p>It was 10. They took the same figure and just moved it around, that doesn’t change area at all.</p>

<p>experimental ^</p>

<p>Shaded region had an area of 10.</p>

<p>thanks linger!</p>

<p>what was the answer to the question with the square drawn inside another square, and AF=AD while E and G are like points on like AB and AC? we need to find the ratio of the areas of large square to small square. was it 2:1??</p>

<p>what about the one with that gave two sides of the triangle and said the one opposite to the obtuse angle was 8</p>

<p>or was it experimental?</p>

<p>klcathy, i think tht was experimental</p>

<p>make a consolidated list</p>

<p>Was section #3 (math w/ fill in) or section #4 (math w/ fill in) experimental?
I’m leaning towards #4, thoughts?</p>

<p>Perimeter of the triangle within the triangle (sides 4-5-6) was 15, anyone confirm?</p>

<p>^ yeah they were similar triangles so 4-5-6. unknown side was 5. </p>

<p>Sorry for being a noob but whats the experimental section mean?</p>

<p>Logically it wouldn’t be 1/18…</p>

<p>^ya, seriously.
answer was 1/108, ya?
1/6 * 1/6 * 2/6 is what i did…</p>

<p>-2…
wat do u think i’ll get?
i seriously feel miserable cuz i thought i got 800…</p>
