After reviewing the exam I did today (the last one) I realized that: - Verbal Section (SC): Careless mistakes; - Verbal Section (RC): lack of focus + when I have to decide between two, I always choose the wrong one; - Quant Section (600-700 bracket): careless mistakes - Quant Section (700-800 bracke...

Only way to get a 30-60-90 is if the triangle is an eqaualateral That doesn't mean that an isosceles triangle is always 45-45-90. A triangle that has 2 sides = 7 inch and another = 6 inch is isosceles and it's not 45-45-90. (6/2)^2 + Height^2 = 7^2 Height^2 = 40 Height = 40^(1/2) that is different ...

The area is 2x^2 + 2x + 1/2 If h = 2 and b = 2x^2 + 2x + 1/2 -> area = [2 * (2x^2 + 2x + 1/2)]/2 = 2x^2 + 2x + 1/2 In this case the height and the base can be different and the area is the same as given. I don't really understand how the height and the base must be equal. It is true if the triangle ...

If you divide the triangle in two, the height isn't the same that you got before. So how do you get the new height?

Hi,
Can you give us the answer choices please?
Is there any info about the angles?
If it is a right triangle:
Area = 2x^2 + 2x + 1/2
(sxs)/2 = 2x^2 + 2x + 1/2
s^2 = 4x^2 + 4x + 1
s^2 = (2x+1)^2
s = 2x+1
After this you have 2 sides, just get the third and you have the perimeter.

"None of"
Hi,
Is "none of the students" followed by a plural or singular verb form?
In MGMAT guide it says that I should look at the noun object to determine the number of the subject but in BTGMAT flashcards it says and examples that "none of..." is always singular.
