Official thread october sat 2013 test

<p>For the questioning about death as a punishment I put something about hypothetical since she said, “If I were to…”</p>

<p>@armed</p>

<p>I think it was preceded because it followed the logic of the question. He received the award after something (which I don’t remember) but I remember that it made sense.
& 12 was correct</p>

<p>@gnipp I put 7.11 too, I think it’s good</p>

<p>@jlee you cannot base that off how it looked, the figure wasn’t drawn to scale.</p>

<p>@jlee: it was 64/9 you can’t assume that 5 is one half of the radius, it’s 8 since the inner part is 3 and the outer is 5, the picture is not to scale</p>

<p>The entire circle IS the large circle. Its 64/9. The part you are talking about is NOT a circle!</p>

<p>what was the 831 question</p>

<p>It’s 64/9…64 pi / 9 pi no doubt about it</p>

<p>@jlee you are wrong. The radius of smaller circle is 3. 3 + 5 = 8. Looking is inaccurate.</p>

<p>^jlee the circles had the same center, the segment of length five touched both the inside of the larger circle, and the outside of the smaller circle… The inner circle had radius length of three. Therefore, the outer circle had radius length of 8, and the answer is 64/pi
Furthermore, the answer could not be 100/9, for I believe that the college board accepts both simplest fractions and decimals for each fill in question.</p>

<p>@zyzz</p>

<p>Thanks Zyzzbrah.</p>

<p>Also, is it just me or was the CR relatively easy this time around? The math on the other hand…</p>

<p>Those who said 55/9 calculated the annulus not the area of the circle itself</p>

<p>The 831 question was:</p>

<p>Abs(x-725) < 107
And they wanted to highest value of x.</p>

<p>What essay questions did you guys get? Im really nervous about it, would really really appreciate it if someone could reply quick</p>

<p>jlee is definitely wrong, but I can’t shake the feeling that they said the radius of the big one was 5</p>

<p>I got the one about is complacency bad etc…I used Steve Jobs and Great Expectations</p>

<p>what is the curve for a - 1 in math then. I must have misinterpreted the question.</p>

<p>@BoundForBoston</p>

<p>Yep all you do is set up an equation, and you get a solution of 832. Subtract that by 1 and that’s the final answer.</p>

<p>jlee, i think it said figure not to scale, and even if it didnt, you had to follow the numbers, not your eyes.</p>

<p>@jlee4001 The answer was 64/9. You’re not supposed to measure according to the diagram. Although the segment of the larger circle that was in the smaller one appeared to be the same length, it’s the radius of the smaller circle, so it’s three. Five plus three is eight, and the area is 64.</p>

<p>Plus, I don’t think the writers of the SAT would include an answer that wouldn’t fit, such as 100/9</p>
