<p>andreaaaa,</p>

<p>It was definitely 1/2.</p>

<p>I remember it was y+2x=some real number</p>

<p>so -2 would be the slope and 1/2x would be the slope of the perpendicular.</p>

<p>121 wasn't an answer choice?</p>

<p>GOOOD!!!</p>

<p>That means I got it right :)</p>

<p>yeah def 1/2
NEGATIVE RECIPRICUL DUDES</p>

<p>how bout the one where u were asked to find the area of the rectangle and triangle?</p>

<p>oh yeah werent the areas equal or something....</p>

<p>please tell me what question ur referring to</p>

<p>i think it was something about how the perimeters or the area of a triangle and a rectangle were equal and you had to find the perimeter or area of one of them. something like that.......i cant remember</p>

<p>the answer was 9 for the triangle and square. It was that 3(length of one side of triangle)=4(length of one side of square). Then it asked for the length of the side of the square.</p>

<p>i got it wrong cuz i put 4. me stupid</p>

<p>right, that was a tricky one. x=4 but the square was 2(x)+1 so 2(4)+1=9</p>

<p>was that triangle isoceles?</p>

<p>i remember a question where the figure was not drawn to scale, and then when you fixed it and drew it to scale the triangle was isoceles.....was that this problem?</p>

<p>ugh.... this sat...</p>

<p>that isosceles triangle one had its 2 base angles of 30 degrees and it asked for the degrees of the remaining angle (120), or at least I think that's how I remember it</p>

<p>there was another one I just thought of that had a right angle divided into 2 equal angles and another 20 degree angle, so the answer to that question was 35 degrees (measure of the other angles)</p>

<p>who thinks the reading section was really unfair?</p>

<p>I actually thought it was pretty decent and I enjoyed the passages.</p>

<p>Question: Is the PSAT tomorrow (Sat.) gonna be the same as the one on the 18 or 19?</p>

<p>The Saturday PSAT is gonna be a totally different test from the 18th.</p>

<p>Darn! :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Was Wednesday's test hard? From what I have ( and I haven't read a lot) it seems easier than last year's test. </p>

<p>Was the test like the one from the Practice Test Booklet. Was the CR harder or easier?</p>

<p>come on, college board isn't that dumb. They would never publish two tests that are the same.</p>

<p>I mean the quesiton where they give u the rectangle with a right triangle on top, with a base of 5, and they ask you to find the area of the whole figure. THe answer choices were something like 27, 31, 37...</p>
