For Writing (Improving Paragraphs) did anyone get stuck between Moreover, they hire landscapers or Nonetheless, they hire landscapers

Okay, for the one with the circle and the two lines tangent (one of which was the x axis), and you had to find the area of the quadrilateral (i.e. the area of the two triangles):

wasn't it 4, b/c each triangle had an area of 2? Someone please confirm. What was the coordinate of the center of the circle??

happycat20

yeah i'm pretty sure it was 4
the coordinates were (4,1) (i think)

Greenroses

~smartdude: yep I had that

ellangog

@rpats23 I put Moreover
@forsworn99 it was 4

@happycat20 & @ellangog: Thank God.

SMARTDUDE101

Yes it was 4; For Writing (Improving Paragraphs), I put moreover.
How about aesthetics for the first paragraph improvement.

icesummer

I put moreover

And I put peremptory instead of superlative (I think that was that question)

BCbound2017

Yes, "aesthetics" was correct.

But it couldn't have been 4 because the base of the entire triangle was 4, the radius was one, so if you took the area of the big triangle with base 4 and height 2 the area would be 4 and the area of the two triangles must be less than that.

forsworn99

i put moreover too, because it was talking about a cost (the hiring professional people) IN ADDITION TO the cost of all the expensive products.

ellangog

unfortunately for me it was peremptory. argg.

arvindskumar

yea i got 4 aswell, wat was the answer to a possible lenght if area is less than 9 but over 5 i put 4 for that one too

Greenroses

what did you get for the question in the first math section with the average number of kids per family? 3.2? I ran out of time to go back and check that one grr.

@noble6: the radius WAS the height, if you drew a line from the (0,0) to the center (4,1), you get the base of each triangle to be 4, and the height to be 1.

So, .5bh = .5(4)(1) = 2. times two triangles = 4.

Am I right?
