<p>I thought it was the distance walked also.</p>
<p>I thought the question asked how far he was from the original spot - which would mean PT is perfectly acceptable way to solve the question since it’s asking for displacement, not distance. But I am not very confident though - only like 65% sure that that is what the question asked for.</p>
<p>@indianboy 16 wasn’t an answer choice though. And if it was asking that, what would have been the point in including the whole circle part?</p>
<p>any thoughts on what a -4 or -5 would be?</p>
<p>Judging by the amount it seems most people missed, I would say 33-34 (provided we get a fair curve).</p>
<p>Regarding the flagpole question, I’m 100% sure it asked for the distance from his starting point to where he was now (hypotenuse of the triangle)</p>
<p>I actually remember more now it was not the hypotenuse because it mentioned how he walked around & i think might have said it wasnt a straight line 100% sure he didnt go straight or else it wouldnt have said how he walked</p>
<p>Does it really matter both final answers were 15 right?
If so it shouldn’t matter we both got it right</p>
<p>The answer wasn’t 15. People who chose it said that it was the closest to 15.7, but the ACT doesn’t round numbers that way (just look through any of your practice tests and you’ll see that if you have to estimate, you will always round up if the number ends with 5,6,7,8, or 9, and down if the number ends with 1,2,3, or 4. If the true answer was 15.7, 16 would’ve been one of the answer choices, but it wasn’t.</p>
<p>they only included the 1/4 of the circle to let you know it was at a 90 degree angle so you could use that for the Pythagorean theorem</p>
<p>I am pretty sure that circle problem with 10 as the radius or whatever was 14 not 15.</p>
<p>Positive it was not 14</p>
<p>Arite so I guess I got one wrong then if it isnt 14. Do you guys still think its a 36??</p>
<p>It’s 14 guys…relax.</p>
<p>LOOL… Same here I put 14 but ppl are confusing me :(</p>
<p>With all their answers with 15 lool</p>
<p>I got 14. It definitely was an answer.</p>
<p>It was 15. You had to find the length of the arc the guy walked on. Which was 1/4 of the circumference.</p>
<p>The arc was 15.7. No way you’d round that down.</p>
<p>15 is correct! P. Thereom that late no way. It was used to distract those who didn’t read the question</p>
