<p>There was a math problem with a triangle and two parallel lines. One measurement was 50 degrees and then there was x and y. It asked what the measure of y was in x. I think I said y = 130 - x. It was just a guess.</p>
<p>Some of you guys are idiots. 7.11 or 64/9 are both perfectly acceptable answers. 7.11 was the decimal approximation for 64/9. CB will accept either, and for the record always has.</p>
<p>@Raytemnewo can you prove it that its 1/3</p>
<p>The parallelogram problem was intuitively 1/3!! It was also like the fourth problem in its section. It wasn’t supposed to be tricky!</p>
<p>yes as there was a paralellogram with line BD crossing it EQUALLY in half, (Image had no indication of NOT DRAWN TO SCALE) and this was also a question #3. Both halves were divided into 3 equal triangles, and the question asked for the ratio of the center paralleogram to the whole. It is 2 triangles/6 triangles or 1/3</p>
<p>HEY GUYS DONT BE *<strong><em>ING *</em></strong>***S. Yes a question 3, 4 or 5 is simple, but people make mistakes. Its sad for me to log on and watch people being ridiculed for missing something easy. This is a test, please remember that someone couldve misread or misinterpreted a question which is the point of the SAT, to help trick us.</p>
<p>Noooooo. I answered 7.11 for that circle problem. I just remembered.</p>
<p>I can prove that it was 1/3
Let the diagonal of the parallelogram be the base of a triangle, with the altitude being the point on the diagonal to the furthest-to-the-right point of the parallelogram.
The area of that big triangle then (containing the three small triangles) is hb/2
Since the base of the middle small triangle is b/3, its area is hb/6.
Same thing happens on the otherside, therefore 1/3.</p>
<p>For any juniors retaking it, use the Black Book :)</p>
<p>7.11 is acceptable… Read above!</p>
<p>The parallelogram was for the American test or for the International test?
I think I put 1/2! -_-</p>
<p>jlee, that’s what I’m saying lol (regarding the 7.11 or 64/9). I don’t understand some people on here… You’d think a website like this would have more rational people on here.</p>
<p>Also, since people are still talking about this – it is mundane/extraordinary.
“I had read A Tale of Two Cities and found it up to my standards as a romantic novel.” – this translates to “it was a fine book I guess – nothing really special about it”. </p>
<p>“She was nearly singing. I wanted to look at the pages. Were they the same that I had read? Or were there notes, music, lined on the pages, as in a hymn book?” This speaks for itself.</p>
<p>It is definitely not romantic/dramatic.</p>
<p>There was a math problem with a triangle and two parallel lines. One measurement was 50 degrees and then there was x and y. It asked what the measure of y was in x. I think I said y = 130 - x. It was just a guess.</p>
<p>Relatively smart, I also answered mundane for that reason. Romantic/dramatic just didn’t make sense to me.</p>
<p>Yeah, there’s really no point in arguing over what we think is the right answer. I’m sure to get 1 wrong; hopefully it will be 4 wrongs at most so I can stay 750+ CR (assuming a normal curve).</p>
<p>Man this thread has really distracted me from school work this weekend. oh well :P</p>
<p>It’s a debatable point…what exactly does up to standards mean / imply?
For me, up to standards is a good thing…it means she found the romantic novel to her liking.
To others, I guess it means it’s ok, it’s not bad.</p>
<p>People on this forum don’t want to be told that they are wrong. I give up trying to get the right answer out, when everyone wants to prove the other wrong. Hope everyone does well and no scores are delayed.</p>

<p>It’s a matter of tone. “This book was up to my standards” doesn’t necessarily mean “This book was great and really romantic.” If she thought the book was interesting she probably would have explicitly said so. Plus, where is the shift to dramatic? I could somewhat understand why people would say romantic (misinterpretation of tone), but I don’t get what made anyone pick dramatic. </p>
