<p>NICE, I'm so happy about that, no popcorns you sure?</p>
<p>It was something like, there were around 2000-3750 total sales, and then at the bottom the graph ranged from 1000-1750, and you had to subtract the soft drink sales, from the soft drink+ popcorn ones combined and I think it was A. If that section was expiremental I think that was the second. I'm happy because I omitted 5 on that I think. Nice.</p>
<p>the problem can be solved without trigonometry, but its complicated. U have to draw perpendiculars and use the Pythagorean theorem. I got an extra writing section. So this math section was definitely not experimental.</p>
<p>I flunked the math part of the test. I made so many careless errors.</p>
<p>you didnt need any trig at all</p>
<p>just recognition of 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 right triangles...</p>
<p>what's my score if i got 5 wrong? and no omit</p>
<p>That's what happened to me the last time that I took the SAT.... my calculator was also broken. Funnn.
It wasn't 30-60-90, though. I'm pretty sure that it was 30-45-105, or something.</p>
<p>Thanks, skunk but I still don't get why it can't be 3,0. I don't remember seeing any number on the x or y axis.</p>
<p>You could draw an imaginary perpendicular line at the 105 degree vertex to make it 30 60 90 and 45 45 90</p>

<p>Yea, it was. I think I guessed 5sqrt3 + 5 or something like that, unless I'm confusing answer choices with another question.</p>
<p>I don't remember the popcorn question but I had the extra math section so I think I lost my memory within the last 3 hours.....</p>
<p>LesOs: for the 30-60-90 and the 45-90-45 to work, u have to divide the triangle into two parts with a perpendicular. 60+45=105.
gk23:u didn't see any numbers but the rectangle was formed with the smaller value in the x-axis. so it should be 1.5</p>
<p>Someone explain the camp/climb/swim one to me....I got the 200 swimmers and 80 climbers part...how do you find a minimum for both out of that?</p>
<p>Guys, you draw a vertical line at the 30-45-105 prob and you have one isosceles right angle triangle and one with a 30 degree angle, so the side opposite to that is half the hypotenuse...so it's easy from then on</p>
<p>You don't need to know trig to do the SAT.</p>
<p>Like everyone else has said, you just draw an imaginary line to make 30 60 90 and a 45 45 90 triangles.</p>
<p>Ahhhh. That's tricky. =)</p>

<p>For that one, it was 9x1.5 right? So it would be 13.5?</p>
<p>So what about the xy=x+y question?</p>
<p>1 > x > 2, JCasey.</p>

<p>Ok you have 240 swimmers 5/6 know how to swim that leaves 40 who don't. Now 1/3 of the entire class is rockclimbing. Thats eighty. Now what's the MINIMUM number of people that are taking rock climbing and know how to swim? You have to subtract forty in the event that ALL forty kids who don't know how to swim are taking rock climbing. That leaves at least 40 kids who do know how to.</p>
<p>mike: i think u have got to see how many campers did not swim. Since only 40 did not, even if u take the maximum number of climbers who did not swim, u get 40. So the remaining 40 ought to be the minimum number of climbers who could swim.</p>
