<p>I can’t remember it lol i think i put 15 as an answer though.</p>
<p>i thought it meant how much did he walk along the arc? the only problem with that is you couldn’t get rid of the pi.</p>
<p>all you had to do was sqrt (10^2+10^2)</p>
<p>That’s what I thought. It was how far did he get–not walk.</p>
<p>It showed the question mark right next to the hypotenuse, so that’s what I assumed as well.</p>
<p>Maybe we are thinking about a dif problem because using formula i got 15.7 i put 15 but i dont know what i was supposed to do</p>
<p>We’re thinking of the same question (the triangle with two sides that are of length 10, right?). If I remember correctly, the question asked what was the straight distance he walked, not the actual (arc) distance, so I just used the Pythagorean Theorem.</p>
<p>Same as @Triassic
I assumed they put it in a story type of problem to make it slightly harder.</p>
<p>If so what did yall put</p>
<p>I thought it said which of the following was the closest. I guess it doesn’t really matter if you took 1/4th of the circumference or did the Pythagorean Theorem because the square root of 200 is about 14.14, and a quarter of the circumference is 15.7. I’m pretty sure that neither 14 nor 16 were answers so 15 would have been the closest of the choices for both, right?</p>
<p>I said 15, but I did use the circumference. Guess I didn’t read that one too carefully.</p>
<p>Yeah i’d guess and hope so hehe</p>
<p>14 was an answer, and I chose it. Even if it was 15.7, that would’ve rounded off to 16. ACT always rounds that way.</p>
<p>I think 14 was an answer.
But normally the ACT leaves pi in the answer right?</p>
<p>Did you guys get 50 or 60 for the angle question with like parallel lines and an X shape?</p>
<p>I think 14.14 would still have to be 15 if youre going the extra distance</p>
<p>Well that’s 4 or 5 wrong for me I believe. Too bad hah.</p>
<p>How could 14.14 possibly be closer to 15 that it is to 14? I’m pretty sure these types of questions always ask you to choose the closest answer.</p>
<p>Was 14 choice D?</p>
<p>Anyone remember the parabola question answer? I mean the letter, not numbers.</p>
<p>What do you mean by the extra distance…?</p>
<p>15 was choice D</p>
