today's act

<p>user - I sure hope you’re right. Now that you’ve eased my conscience a bit…</p>

<p>giants22 and canderson11 - I can’t remember for the life of me what the problem said or how I did it, I think I multiplied something by 9 somewhere in there, but I think I put 3. Or maybe that was for an entirely different question. I’m not too sure.</p>

<p>I think the answer to the brick question was something like 3.</p>

<p>i assumed ACT would be smart enough to make another test. hopefully</p>

<p>wow bricks. i cant remember it for the life of me</p>

<p>lol. i didn’t notice i typed the exact thing you did</p>

<p>For the brick question, I put 3.
For the inscribed angles and chords question (59), I put 72.
For the hexagon’s perimeter (60), I put 30. </p>

<p>Does anyone remember question 57? I circled it go to back, but ran out of time and had to pick a random letter.</p>

<p>There was a transversal problem…it was like one of the first five questions…Somehow at the time it confused me…I think I went back and got it, but does anyone remember the answer or how they did it. Since it was that early in the test I assume it was pretty simple.</p>

<p>whats transversal doesnn’t ring a bell haha
i put 90 for the chords one
and 30 for the last problem with hexagons
i also got 18 with the towers one did anyone get that</p>

<p>user - do you mean the one where you had two lines that intersected at a point, and you had to find the two angles?</p>

<p>It was a transversal with two diff equations for the alt. exterior angles. Question 3 I think.</p>

<p>Also, the other question that threw me off was the 7:13 rectangle problem that listed the perimeter and wanted the area. That seemed like a question that should have been in the 50s but was instead in the 30s I think. Makes me think the math curve maybe a bit generous.</p>

<p>Did you have to find x in it?</p>

<p>Yeah, sorry had to find x. One equation was like 3x-10, on like the top right side.</p>

<p>i think i know what you’re talking about. the question said the two lines were parallel and asked for x where they gave you two angles in equations? i set them equal and solved. if that’s what you’re talking about</p>

<p>user- that one you just set the two sides equal to 7x and 13x and then you said 2(7x + 13x) = the total perimeter and solved for x</p>

<p>I think I got 42 for x, but I might be making that up. I know I just set the two equations equal to each other and found x.</p>

<p>this is a “■■■” moment for me</p>

<p>not that one giants22. i remember that problem. there were 2 angles that you had to solve for and i believe the answer was 42</p>

<p>Yeah, the transversal one was a small negative number. You set the equations equal and solve for x. </p>

<p>I almost messed up the rectangle one b/c i multiplied the sides by 18 instead of 9 but later changed it and got a number in the thousands. </p>

<p>I totally guessed on the two triangles one and got it RIGHT. :)</p>

<p>all of the ones i guess on came down to 2 answers that were very close. from being on this post it seems that everyone chose the answer i didn’t and got it right haha</p>

<p>did anyone else get 18 for the twoers?</p>
