<p>Do you all remember a question on a trapezoid that gave you the measure for a few of its sides and you had to use pythag. thm. to find other side and calculate perimeter? I think answer was 80. Was this experimental?</p>
<p>i think ti was 75</p>
<p>the answer is 80..im pretty sure, and it's not an experimental.</p>
<p>Yea you split it up into a triangle and a rectangle and found the area of each and the sum of the two areas was the area of the figure. Wait - that's a different problem isn't it? Or was it perimeter instead of area? Probably was perimeter. Sorry!</p>
<p>ronlivs, Programmer1324, and dan, how many math sections did you guys have?</p>
<p>i had 3 but i remeber an answer being 75</p>
<p>Could that answer possibly be to the problem that told you that two triangles were equilateral and told you a+b = 25, then asked you what the perimeters of the two triangles added were, if the sides of one were = a, and the other = b?</p>
<p>mybe descirbe in detail this trapazoid problem i do remeber it vaguely</p>
<p>It had a trapezoid with the measures for a few sides. Inscribed in the trapezoid was a right triangle. You had to use the values of the sides for the trapezoid that were given and the pythagorean theorem to find either the hypotenuse or one of the legs, and sum all of the lengths in order to find the perimeter of the larger trapezoidal figure. the answer was 80 or something.</p>
<p>The answer to the trapezoid was 80, but i forgot the problem itself. It's a different question than the one with two equilateral triangles (answer 75).</p>
<p>i remeber that question but i just cant remeber if i put 80 or not was it a fill in or multi choice</p>
<p>heltahir, i had 3 (the normal amt) of math sections, so i did not have an experimental. I don't remember having the inscribed/area/75 one, but I did have the perimeter one which i got to be 80. It was a multiple choice.</p>
<p>is that the problem where they give u a shaded quardralateral inside another quadralater and you have to find the area of shaded, where answer is total area, minus the two upper right blank portions which would be right triangles like you all are talking about?</p>
<p>I had 3 sections and a trapezoid problem involving a right triangle and a rectangle.</p>
