<p>ADD on!</p>
<p>What exactly was the question for the largest angle of the triangle? I vaguely remember it but I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Can someone describe the cut rope problem (answer 7 pieces to me)? was it a multiple choice or grid in? and what was the actual problem?</p>
<p>I actually think the answer was 8 pieces. Each of the pieces was 7 inches long, and 7*8 = 56 < 60.</p>
<p>i dont remember. unless the problem had a twist to it</p>
<p>^ It did not have a twist; it was the second question in the section.</p>
<p>Can we confirm the x = 70 degrees, please? Two isosceles triangles (within a larger triangle), two angles given, x = 70?</p>
<p>so was it 8 or 7 for the cut rope one?</p>
<p>It was eight piecesssssssssss</p>
<p>I believe it was 8 pieces, might have been 7 though, I can’t remember.</p>
<p>70* degrees for the triangle one, yes. Don’t remember the exact problem though.</p>
<p>IT WAS EIGHT
60 inches
7 inch parts
60/7 = 8 with remainder 4
so 8 whole pieces
kk.</p>
<p>thanks guy and @studious do you remember the exact problem or can you give me some more info?</p>
<p>^ I would draw a picture if I could. There were three triangles making up a larger triangle. Two triangles were isosceles and the base angle of one and vertex angle of the other were both 40 degrees. Solving for x (an angle in the center triangle) yielded 70 degrees.</p>
<p>yes i think your right!</p>
<p>what was the question where the answer was 998?</p>
<p>I hope that was experimental because I don’t remember anything 998…</p>
<p>@msellars there is a sequence 3, 8, 15, 18, 23 etc… The first term is 3 and the terms after are the term before plus 5.
So you just needed to try 3 + 5x in your calculator and find an x that gave you one of the 5 answer choices. x = 199 gave 998, so that was the answer.</p>
<p>So does no one remember the question with answer x=87?</p>
<p>OH YEAH! The choices were 998, 999, 1000, 1001, 1002.</p>
<p>It was 998, Phew, I thought I got another wrong… good :)</p>
<p>can anyone tell me the exact question for the cube one which some people had 51 and some had 54? I don’t at all recalling myself done that question…</p>
