November 2008 SAT Discussion for International Students

<p>its either 16 or 36… i dont remember which number was in the answer choices</p>

<p>Also, tht way we do get both 16 & 36</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the answer was 36?</p>

<p>I remember that there was no 36 at all
by the way, I’m confused right now :))
let’s go to other ones if you guys don’t mind</p>

<p>Does anyone remember how he/she solved the second last equilateral triangle question in the last M section?</p>

<p>if not 36, then 16
99.999%</p>

<p>The answer was 10sq.rt.3</p>

<p>Yeah one thing’s for sure the answer was either 16 or 36 and there was only one of those options…So let’s move on to the next question.</p>

<p>Wht’s happening? all 3 of my posts are in upside down order</p>

<p>yes…there was 10 sq root 3…I solved this one using trigno…it was a lot easier that way!</p>

<p>SinA/A = SinB/B
Sin120/x=Sin30/10
x=10sqroot3</p>

<p>^ Yeah I just used the Law of Sines to solve the problem.
So much easier.</p>

<p>I did not remember the meaning of equil…so I omitted the question
silly me huh :))
move on please</p>

<p>holy **** i used law of cosines incorrectly and got a sqrt of 210</p>

<p>Wow.I spent around 3 minutes trying to find a shortcut…then realized I had 1 more question to go with 3 more minutes remaining.After completing the last question I returned back to this question ,started panicking then short listed the answer to either 17 or 10sq.rt.3 and went with 10sq.rt.3 just because it looked more complicated.I guess prep. books do help u guess an answer if u r not fully sure.</p>

<p>did any1 try solving this question by drawing a perpendicular line right down the middle?</p>

<p>thank god im retaking in dec…</p>

<p>ok, so any of you guys remember any question in shakespear paragraph?</p>

<p>Yeah just found out the shorter method there was a right angled triangle with hypotenuse 20 and base 10. I guess we only just needed to use the pythagoras formula straight away.</p>

<p>sentence completion answers</p>
