Official SAT March 10 Math Discussion

<p>whewwwwww that means i didn't konk out during that period.</p>

<p>I don't remember if that was an answer choice, skyciele, but hopefully you didn't fill in that bubble if it was!</p>

<p>By the way, don't "sky" and "ciel" mean the same thing? Are you really that infatuated with the matter surrounding the Earth? </p>

<p>Just kidding!</p>

<p>way to make me nervous again. no, I just liked the french word for sky. french is so refined; even the word 4 <em>female dog</em> sounds really pretty.</p>

<p>Btw guys, the question that had a triangle inside a 3d cube etc and it asked for the angle. I think we all agreed on 60 right?</p>

<p>I showed it my teacher and I told her that all they told you was that the vertex of the triangle hit at the midpoint and thats it and she says the logical visual answer would be 60 but that to be sure, they would need to give you more info. I dont really remember them giving you anymore info right?</p>

<p>Hmmm....... Now that I think about it, I am "pretty convinced" that the only answer choice that was close to "36" was "39," which I believe was choice E. I don't think the College Board would have tossed 35 into the mix just to capitalize on someone misreading the answer choices, particularly if it has ample opportunity to exploit careless mistakes elsewhere (such as finding the wrong pattern, forgetting to multiply by 3, etc.).</p>

<p>Acere: 60 was definitely the answer.</p>

<p>The key to figuring out the question was the fact that the hypotenuse of the triangle was equal in length to one edge of the cube. Then, since one leg was half the length of an edge, you knew that the triangle was 30-60-90, which meant that the angle asked for in the question was 60.</p>

<p>And how did you know the hypotenuse was the same length as a side of the cube?</p>

<p>If we visualize the cube, we see that the side of the square (inside the cube) to the test taker's right was parallel to the bottom rightmost edge of the cube, making them, in the context of this problem, equal in length. Since the hypotenuse was also one side of the aforementioned square, the hypotenuse is equal in length to the cube's edge by transitivity.</p>

<p>did ne1 else have math experimental section 6????</p>

<p>a few questions from it were:</p>

<p>for all positive numbers less than 100, how many have a factor of 9??</p>

<p>if you buy a shirt for p dollars, and it was 15 percent off, in terms of p, how much is the shirt at regular price??</p>

<p>it seems like im the only one who had this experimental, and im pretty sure it was section 6.</p>

<p>I didnt have that experimential.</p>

<p>Anyone who had the other experimental care to post some questions that were on it?</p>

<p>does anyone remember if the question about the three semi circles and the shaded region was on an experimental section? I'm pretty sure I squared the diameter instead of the radius! Anyone remember if 16pi was one of the choices, I hope not because if it is, I definitely picked it. ARGH!</p>

<p>I hate SAT math.</p>

<p>The math experimental that was section six, the last problem was "The points A B and C lie on a line. While of the following can NOT be true?" And it had like "AC + BC > AB"</p>

<p>what do you guys think 1 math omitted with 5-6 wrong will be? (most likely 5)</p>

<p>" the last problem was "The points A B and C lie on a line. While of the following can NOT be true?" And it had like "AC + BC > AB"</p>

<p>Gah, I spent way too much time on this problem and the one before it for it to be experimental. I still dont get that problem at all. Anyone care to explain it?</p>

<p>menuetto, i got 16pi also i think... DAMN that section was experimental? lol that's like the only math section that i didn't fail.</p>

<p>OBRien, you're probably looking at like...idk low 700's or high 600's.
I missed like 6 plus 2 omitted...I SUCK.</p>

<p>Optimus, I remember that! I put "AB + CB cannot equal AD" or SOMETHING with "is not equal to" on it. It was just a guess though. LOL.</p>

<p>Do the grid problems accept repeating decimals? The answer to one was 10/3, and I put 3.33.</p>

<p>does anyone remember if the quadrant question and the x(x-something) = ______ a*b, what was b? question on the experimental?</p>

<p>They accept repeating decimals</p>

<p>Can anyone name the question that the answer was 10/3?</p>

<p>Please.</p>

<p>SAT 696969: I had the same experimental as you!</p>

<p>Do you remember what else was on there?</p>
