<p>the diagnol wasn’t 6. the sides of the triangle were 6</p>
<p>OMG it was how many tiles!! I just thought it was how many of those squares (patterns) could fit!! darn it</p>
<p>^ Don’t you hate it when that happens? Grr…</p>
<p>125 and 200 are correct then?</p>
<p>Those are the answers I got, and I’m pretty confident about them.</p>
<p>It took me such a long time to get through the pizza/salad/cake problem, though. I actually got it first by trial and error. Then I went back and solved it algebraically to check my answer.</p>
<p>twinkletoes: it said that B and D were opposite vertices meaning that they formed a diagonal.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to the pizzas, cake…etc problem?</p>
<p>I think that was…A. (8/5)n.</p>
<p>What about the question about Napoleon in the writing part. I put D because “it” is an ambiguous pronoun.</p>
<p>(8/5)p</p>
<p>or whatever the variable was.</p>
<p>I actually did the problem and got 5/8 for the cake o.O so I put 8/5 thinking I must have switched the two somewhere.</p>
<p>I got 200 on the tiles. 1 Pattern = 5 tiles, 3x3, forgot what the area was for the er floor, but then you have 40 patterns needed and it’s asking how many tiles, so you x5</p>
<p>Honor roll - you had to multiply the number of students in each grade by 1/5, not the total number. I got 125 as well. </p>
<p>For the triangle, I also got 18. The square was 6 x 6, midpoint was at (0,2), so 1/2(6x6)=18. </p>
<p>I put peremptory/abrasive - peremptory can mean dictatorial or dogmatic.</p>
<p>I got pretext as well; it means the same thing as pretense, so I think that worked the best.</p>
<p>The myths of the American frontier: tenacious and pervasive, because the sentence was comparing the myths to the weeds that couldn’t be eradicated (or something along thsoe lines).</p>
<p>And I agree with Demeter about the pile of discarded memories. The second passage stressed how you remember things more if they directly affected/involved you, and the author mentioned how he would probably forget stories about the family dog that his brother would remember, because his brother was the one who took care of the pet.</p>
<p>Yeah lakers08. the diagnoal was the hypotenuse of two triangles,</p>
<p>when do the results come out?</p>
<p>H was the midpoint of BC. BC is not a diagonal. BC is a side of the square.</p>
<p>Mid December</p>
<p>What did you guys think about the question with five presidents in three weeks or something? It wasn’t tyrannical, was it?</p>
<p>Certificate problem: two $1=$3 , two $3=$5, total=$57, and asks how
many of $3 are there? Is this right?</p>
<p>I still don’t know how u get 6. someone please explain~</p>
<p>For the roman numeral problem that asked about why they give systems of eqations, did anyone put “to show a relation between arabic, or something like that?”</p>
<p>for the triangle one, i thought i asked for a section of the square that was one fourth of the area. wasn’t it from the midpoint af AC (H) to A and D. Which would be 6 length * hieght 3 + 18 divided by 2 = 9?</p>
<p>did i read this problem wrong?</p>
