USA June 2011 SAT: MATHEMATICS Discussion Thread

<p>wasn’t it 110<y<165?</p>

<p>It didn’t say the third side had to be larger than the other two… and btw 6+2=8=2*4</p>

<p>If anybody wants any specific answers, send me a private message. I know I got all these right, sorry for cockiness, so I’m not gonna look on the thread anymore. Good luck everyone.</p>

<p>WAIT what was the actual question for the triangle one.</p>

<p>Was it the sum of 2 sides is equal to the 3rd side?</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>The sum of 2 sides is equal to twice the 3rd side?</p>

<p>I think it was the first but i’m not sure.</p>

<p>@alauren, I also got 15 degrees. And Shaggy, I put 70 < y < 165.</p>

<p>it was twice i thought</p>

<p>16 also works for the multiples of 3 question</p>

<p>16 32 48 64 80 96
48 and 96 eliminated b/c multiples of 3</p>

<p>leaves 16 32 64 80
67-4-63</p>

<p>@shaggy no its 70<y<165</p>

<p>its equilateral it 2,4,6 do not equal to twice the third side</p>

<p>Its the second one.</p>

<p>@ brolex
it was the sum of any two sides of the triangle equal twice the third side</p>

<p>It’s 1 only. They have to have a right angle. Do the law of cos and you’ll see for yourself</p>

<p>Agh, I misread the Multiples of 3 question.</p>

<p>and how did you get 70<y<165?</p>

<p>I repeat my question:
It was something like:</p>

<p>If b (less than or equal to) 3 when a^2>9, what could be a value of b when a=3?</p>

<p>Lol @ kunalkunal2. If I have a triangle with sides of 6, 6, and 6, none are 90º angles.</p>

<p>Shaggy, plug in the lowest and highest amounts and see what you get.</p>

<p>Lifesong, that was experimental.</p>

<p>Confirming the 15 degrees and the 70/165</p>

<p>i got 110<y<165…</p>

<p>@kunal
there does not have to be a right angle…there can’t be a right angle actually because it needs to be equilateral</p>

<p>@skopius
2,4,6 is an impossible triangle lol</p>

<p>what do you think the curve will be?</p>
