October 2010 Math SAT Thread

<p>is this test actually considered easy? i suck at math, but it seemed average to me. not really easy, but not hard, either. ugh. i hope the curve helps me and doesnt hurt me.</p>

<p>i hope it wasn’t supposed to be easy because i thought some of the questions were rather confusing…</p>

<p>i thought the same one was always the leader</p>

<p>2 q’s: for the obtuse triangle with a side of 6 and 8, i put 11, does that work?</p>

<p>and there was one question with a big square cut into 4 squares, there were 1/4circles shaded in and its asked for the shaded area…was that experimental? i got 50 for the answer</p>

<p>what was the answer to the dice one? i put 1/108</p>

<p>54 800
53 790
52 770/760
51 740
50 720
49 710
48 700</p>

<p>For the triangle, anything from 11-13 should work. Correct me if I’m wrong. And I think the second is experimental.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the answer to…</p>

<p>The one where the slope of the line was 30 degrees and it asked for the equation of the line?</p>

<p>What was the answer to the one where the Volume of a Cylinder was 64pi. And you had to find the height.</p>

<p>^ I believe it was 4</p>

<p>Height was 4
Slope was x/(root3)</p>

<p>^ Can you explain that question please? It’s the only one I know I got wrong thus far.</p>

<p>it was 4. since the base and the radius were the same it worked out to be pi X 4^3 so if you took the cubed root of 64 its 4</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>30-60-90 triangle</p>

<p>@gensis alright thanks</p>

<p>All correct so far! :slight_smile:
btw 53 won’t be 790 lol! more like 770.</p>

<p>I’m wondering if anyone got the question about passwords from 7 letters and 4 had to be chosen and they could repeat so 7^4=2401 It was the sec. 4 the grid in. WAS THIS EXPERIMENTAL?</p>

<p>for the leader question I thought if one of 5 leads and than the rest was 4!, so 5 times 24.I think?</p>

<p>that was experimental i believe</p>

<p>About the obtuse triangle grid in problem that had sides 6 and 8 and angle x, would 13 be correct?</p>

<p>i had 4 math sections:</p>

<p>1 grid in & 2 25 question MC & 1 20 question MC</p>

<p>do you know which of the MC is experimental…? is it the one with the wire radius and the one that asked to solve for k for this parabola?</p>
