September 2010 ACT Math Discussion

<p>the question was asking what is the maximum amount of students that play both instruments… i put 22</p>

<p>and also was 44 a possible choice for the two triangle quetions</p>

<p>instruments? wut?</p>

<p>mabey i am not thinking of the right things they are comparing but there was for sure a question that was talking about the maximum number of “things” two people have in common</p>

<p>lolwut? I had those questions on the July one… (special testing)</p>

<p>does anyone remember the exact question for the angle of 46 degrees?</p>

<p>I did NOT see an instrument question.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the basketball court question? 25?</p>

<p>no instrument questions for me. was the basketball question the one with 8 different section? you just divided the area of the court by 8.
Also, was the rational number question with the answer as sinx choice C?</p>

<p>OK the instrument question was NOT on the test. That exact question with piano and violin was in the Princeton Review 1296 book.</p>

<p>haha wow i am going nuts :frowning: imm sorry for the confusion</p>

<p>For the guy who had to pee, I had the same problem.</p>

<p>The freakin proctor wouldn’t let me go after I finished the math section… (I finished like 10 mins early). What a prick…</p>

<p>I don’t get the circle 5 points one D: I put pentagon >-></p>

<p>The answer was a circle. It said which would give the MOST number of different lines for EVERY possible positioning. So on a pentagon, if you put the points on each side, 1 per side, then you get 5 lines. Obviously. But then what if you put all the points on the same side? You only get 1 distinct line. But for a circle, no matter how close you put the points together, they will ALWAYS produce 5 distinct lines. Hence, circle.</p>

<p>Ohh eff. Ty for the explaination :slight_smile: I didnt see “ALWAYS” >-></p>

<p>lol i guessed on that and got it right. Was the rational number solution C (sinx)? please say it was…</p>

<p>^ Yeah, it was.</p>

<p>Yes it was</p>

<p>YESS! I randomly filled that one in at the last second! lol</p>

<p>What was the answer to the one with the movie chart? It went something like, “What percent of the movies were not based on a TV show” or something like that. I guessed because I didn’t have time to complete it.</p>

<p>Can’t quite remember what the answer was, but it was a rather low percentage.</p>
