<p>400th post</p>
<p>for the question about the rectangular prism</p>
<p>why is the answer sqrt(rst)??? I put just rst cuz its length * width * height</p>
<p>your method is wrong because you don't know if the faces are squares
you cant square root them</p>
<p>ya.. i guessed on that... it was the only logical answer</p>
<p>i did it using an example, like the sides are 2, 3, and 4. i got square root of rst.</p>
<p>but i dont see how just square rooting it gives you the right answer. it was a RECTANGULAR PRISM, not a CUBE. so the sides are diff than just the area's square root</p>
<p>yeah the rst one was a semi-trick question (especially when rushing through)</p>
<p>go zachsta again</p>
<p>Meh, whats the right way to do that one then?</p>
<p>ok, sides are 2, 3, and 4:
areas are 8 12 and 6
(8 x 12 x 6) = 576
volume is 24
24 is teh square root of 576
thats how i got it...</p>
<p>RST problem</p>
<p>Think of this:</p>
<p>R = length * width</p>
<p>S = l * h</p>
<p>T = w * h</p>
<p>so Sqrt(RST) = Sqrt(l<em>w</em>l<em>h</em>w<em>h) = Sqrt(l^2 * w^2 * h^2) = sqrt(l^2) * sqrt(w^2)</em>sqrt(h^2) = lwh = volume</p>
<p>They're not squares but if you draw a cube and found the volume ... the one with sqrt(rst) was the only one that came out w/the same volume. (at least for my imaginary cube w/side=5)</p>
<p>wow last method seems a bit confusing</p>
<p>I got 1 "No error" on writing I believe.</p>
<p>i just realized
you guys are giving people who are taking the exam on saturday a BIG advantage, and im getting REALLY worried now
i think we should stop now
can the MODs please delete this thread?</p>
<p>the writing passage about women facing discrimination in the workplace/deciding own work environment.</p>
<p>what did you put for "which sentence would best be added to the end of the passage?</p>
<p>-though they face discrimination, they are just as capable as men
-they need to stay in the unhospitable environment to help out others</p>
<p>master, i think they have a diff. test.
plus, nobody in my room said anything about discussing answers?</p>
<p>ooh
thats really good to know</p>
<p>Women are just as capable as men, despite discrimination in the corporate world.</p>
<p>haha, yeah im not sure though.
i think collegeboard takes precautions to make sure everyones on a level playing field. that is, before i found out that they took an EXACT copy of a critical reading passage from years ago and put it on today's test.</p>
<p>Math:</p>
<p>Area of quadrilateral (almost-a-triangle thingy in the grid) – 3.5</p>
<p>Train in the tunnel – 1200</p>
<p>Rst rectangle box– square root</p>
<p>Which one could be a triangle – 7,8,9</p>
<p>How many odd numbers – 125</p>
<p>How many students – 18</p>
<p>Ratio of the wheel- 7.5</p>
<p>What cant have a remainder of 5 – 5</p>
<p>Ecdf - e>d>c>f</p>
<p>Cost to mail the package – 2.5</p>
<p>F(K) G(K) – 0</p>
<p>Answer to a grid in – 6007</p>
<p>X-K – 0</p>
<p>Average - 280</p>
<p>T in terms of A - -14a</p>
<p>square root of x - 3 = 8 - 120</p>
<p>how many months had more than the previous month graph - 3</p>
<p>possible value of x that would make (x-2.73)(x-3.45) negative - 3, could be others</p>
<p>grid in - 9</p>
<p>Critical Reading:</p>
<p>Sentence Completion:
Applause- tacit</p>
<p>Something about corporate people and profit – vaunted</p>
<p>Modern critic – its looking like most people think its incontrovertible/trouble </p>
<p>resilient</p>
<p>Beach Short Passage:
Youthful adventurousness</p>
<p>Around the world Short Passage:
Authors attitude toward man - Indifferent/critical (so far it is split about 50/50)</p>
<p>Smooth - suave</p>
<p>Spanish Long Passage:
“hum” – constant presence</p>
<p>“expand” – spread</p>
<p>why was the author unfair to Spanish – not a clear answer yet</p>
<p>Robot Long Passage:
“mindchildren”- they were offspring and will surpass</p>
<p>Danish African Long Passage:
“raise” be put up for consideration</p>
<p>“exercise” use</p>
<p>pain in art with the quote from someone who knew her - transmuting the pain into art</p>
<p>which of the following best expresses the claim that Dinesen was a "great mythmaker”- Dinesen constructed a public identity as carefully as she constructed her stories</p>
<p>The parenthetical phrase - emphasize that Dinesen's life is not easily distinguished from the myth</p>
<p>phoenix – she was regenerated after a disappointment and became a successful artist</p>
<p>Fourth paragraph is unique because - is critical of Dinesen's character</p>
<p>The comment implies that - Dinesen's behavior cannot be evaluated in absolute moral terms</p>
<p>which best contrasts Dineson in Kenya and in Denmark - An awe-inspiring figure versus a contradictory individual</p>
<p>Genetically Modified Food Passages:
What would passage 2 say about the risks – acceptable or slight....this one is also split.....its looking like acceptable</p>
<p>Writing:</p>
<p>“John and I” – wrong, should be john and me.</p>
<p>“Indonesia jewels” – wrong, suspending should be suspended</p>
<p>“inspire” – wrong, should be “inspired by”, not “inspired from"</p>
<p>"visual to" - this one was about climbing a mountain and being able to see the city, but it was wrong because it said "visual to" instead of "visible"</p>
