<p>tim, i completely agree. maybe you and i read the question wrong?</p>
<p>But the question was why did the author choose to include the series of equations. </p>
<p>I thought my “relate roman and arabic numbers” was correct because he/she was showing how since IV was similar to 4-1, the other roman numberals could have been related to arabic numbers as well.</p>
<p>The triangle question: It was from the midpoint of one side of square to the other two points, right? (not from the middle)</p>
<p>The distance between B and D was not 6. There was a difference of 6 between the x-coordinates and a difference of 6 between the y-coordinates, so the area of the square is 6*6=36. The triangle is half that, so 18.</p>
<p>That would be 1/2 the area, because the base of the triangle would be six and the height would still be six. B and D are opposite corners, so like others said, H was not the midpoint of a diagonal between the two corners, but of one side of the square.</p>
<p>dream, i think your right, which means it is 1/4 of the square, which i think means the answer is 9.</p>
<p>but everyone else seems to disagree.</p>
<p>Demeter/ isn’t the set up 2x=y and 2y=z? (not the other way around)</p>
<p>Oh, man, that sucks. i misread it, i thought the end point was from the middle of the diagnol, not one of the sides</p>
<p>I thought it was predisposed because it said that even though the babies were shielded from microbes, they were still affected so hygiene was important.</p>
<p>darn it.
i get it now.</p>
<p>For sec 1 of critical reading, the first question on the long passage, did you guys say “painful experiences are less likely to exert an influence…something like that”</p>
<p>No. I didn’t see anything about painful/emotional experiences in the passage, so that choice didn’t make sense to me.</p>
<p>18 ,9,18,9,18,9,18, its driving me nuts. lord hlep me</p>
<p>It’s 18 because the square was 6x6 and the triangle was half that area, so .5 * 6 * 6 = 18.</p>
<p>I vouch for 18.</p>
<p>Did anyone get the question w/ the prime numbers? The one with I, II, III
I put II only.</p>
<p>II is right</p>
<p>Did anyone get predisposed for the sentence completion about the babies?</p>
<p>I got II as well</p>
<p>I said II only too. Every prime number above 2 is odd, so r<em>1 or r</em>3 will be odd. Since the same rule goes for p, you get I) p + r = odd + odd = even, II) p + 2r = odd + even = odd, and III) p + 3r = odd + odd = even. Again, every prime above 2 is odd, so only II is possible.</p>
<p>For the 9, 18 question, i think it’s how you interpreted the question
My triangle was like this
B A
h
C D</p>
<p>and BD was the diagnol. H is between B and C
I dunno if the diagram is right.</p>
