Official March SAT Math Discussion 2008

<p>there was a pentagon problem with finding an angle with 3 given, 90, 100, and 110. does anyone remember the answer? was it experimental?</p>

<p>I am guessing the problem with 3 in the front and 2 at the end of the number wasn't in an experimental section?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the answer choices for the book question?</p>

<p>The triangle problem was plotted on a graph, with x-intercept (u,0) and another point was like (v, 2) or something like that. The question asked the area of the triangle in terms of u and v.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember this one?</p>

<p>what do people think the curve is going to be? Would one wrong make 780?</p>

<p>@Wis3ly the answer was UV I think. If you plugged in numbers it always came out to that. Anyone want to back this up?</p>

<p>Also, what was the vertex of parallelogram: (10, 4) question</p>

<p>^^ That's what I put.</p>

<p>k, do you know the question for the vertex of a parallelogram?</p>

<p>The question gave you three points of a //-gram, and you had to find the fourth point.</p>

<p>This sucks, I can't remember it at all...has anyone posted a picture of the type? Was it a hard question?</p>

<p>I am guessing the problem with 3 in the front and 2 at the end of the number wasn't in an experimental section? (Most say the answer was suppose to be 20)
Can anyone answer my question? it is just a yes or a no.. jeez</p>

<p>PLEASE ITS KILLING ME I CANT FIGURE IT OUT</p>

<p>the problem with the pentagon given 3 angles, 90, 100, and 110.</p>

<p>the possible answers for one of the unknown angles were 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150.</p>

<p>someone PLEASE tell me if you got this problem</p>

<p>^^Experimental. So don't worry about it.</p>

<p>For //-gram question: I don't think so. It was before question 12 or something. It was also multiple choice by the way.</p>

<p>wis3ly, are you talking to me or alanworkman?</p>

<p>@ alanworkman.</p>

<p>@RuiL...I read your post and I don't remember that question.</p>

<p>what was x+y=20 question? anyone remember?</p>

<p>One of the answers was 5/2.</p>

<p>The problem was an equation ---> then what is x+2?</p>

<p>is 1 wrong ever 760? a lot of people have been saying that this math was really easy, so curve may be a bit too harsh. what do people think the curve is going to be?</p>

<p>Tritium: The harshest curve I have seen still gave one wrong in math a 780.. (Oct. test)</p>
