<p>Thanks Flipsta_G! But those werent such bad articles compared to MLK and the cecil one. Oh well…</p>
<p>Maybe that last second cheating bumped my score up another 10 points and that can make Alot of Difference. So I don’t really feel that guilty, I’m sort of proud that I was able to get away with it.</p>
<p>the answer to the triangle one was definitely 8</p>
<p>similar triangles</p>
<p>I got 8 as the base.</p>
<p>For the fire truck question, the m-distance was 4.5, right?</p>
<p>3.5</p>
<p>I also went back and filled in the rectangle one.</p>
<p>It was </p>
<hr>

<p>The Area of the triangle was 7 and BC was 2/5 of AC and AB was 3/5 of AC. they wanted to know the area of the whole triangle. Please say it was 21.</p>
<p>Also I got a 1240 from previous tests and I’m fairly confident that I might have bumed it up to at least 1280 or higher because I think I did good on both sections. I have a good feeling about the test…SO it will probably really stink when I end up getting the same scores as last time. 
I keep telling myself not to get my expectations up but It is kind of hard when I get the ones that I guessed on correct.</p>
<p>It was 23.3 or 70/3.</p>
<p>AB was 2, AC was 5 so BC was 3.</p>
<p>Area of triangle = 1/2 bh
We know the base, we know the area, what is the height?
7=(.5)(3)h
h=4.6667</p>
<p>Area of rectangle = lw
A=(5)(4.6667)
= 23.333 or 70/3</p>
<p>they wanted to know the area of the entire rectangle. section AP (not really AP, i forget what it was) was 2/5 the entire section AB. so, if you make the length of the triangle 5, that means AP is 2/5, or 2, and section PB is 3. If section PB is 3 and the area of the triangle is 7, that means the height of the triangle has to be 3x/2 = 7, or 14/3. then multiply the height by the length and get 14/3 x 5, or 70/3.</p>
<p>EDIT on the post ABOVE. I think the it was the other way around BC was 3/5 and AB was 2/5 .</p>
<p>Am I the only one who thinks the question about “suffered” in the MLK passages was “felt” instead of “endured”? Darn…</p>
<p>Dualityim, I put endured.</p>
<p>Also since I guess I f-ed up on that Rectangle one. It doesn’t really matter since It was a fill in the blank one, BUT I still would have liked to have gotten it right. Anyways.</p>
<p>What did everyone put for the Jesse Jackson question.</p>
<p>can somebody explain to me what the units digit problem was?</p>
<p>It was 23.3 or 70/3.</p>
<p>AB was 2, AC was 5 so BC was 3.</p>

<p>This is correct. Been proven many times. Also, dualityim I think the general consensus has been endured.</p>
<p>Three consecutive intergers where if you multiply the smallest by largest, the units digit of the resulting product will = 9. Therefore, what does the units digit of the middle number have to be?</p>
<p>For this to work, the units digit of the middle number needs to be 0. It works for everything. 9, 10, 11. 19, 20, 21. Etc.</p>
<p>I’ll ask again. Not being impatient I’m just curious. and You might have missed it.</p>
<p>What did everyone put for the answere to the Jesse Jackson question in the Reading.</p>
<p>Not everybody…it’s experimental.</p>
<p>???experimental??? what.</p>
<p>I have a question on the firetruck one. I put 4 paths, but I believe the correct answer was 6. Is this so?</p>
<p>Please read the thread!</p>
<p>Firetruck: 6 different ways
Triangle inside rectangle: 23.3 or 70/3</p>
<p>Both have been proved practically every 3 pages!</p>
<p>Also, can someone tell me what section of math was experimental? I can’t understand from any of the posts which one was.</p>
<p>Was the question about the two tangent spheres experimental? If not, what did everyone get?</p>
