TMSCA TESTS

Postby 101dalmatians » Sun May 19, 2013 9:40 am

UGH TMSCA TESTS ARE SOOOO - like NON-UIL!!!!!! THEY'RE LITERALLY SOOO HARD!
THE first page is like the 4th page on normal UIL tests (exaggeration bu you see my point)

09O-28: A barbed wire fence is to be placed around a 35 acre sq. field. If the fence posts must be no farther than 10 ft apart, how many posts are needed?

So, I found the side length, mult. it by 4, then divided by the 10 ft... My ans was wayyyy of! Any solutions??? KEY SAYS: 496
I guess this signature really doesn't matter now that I know that the forum is going down soon...

When you divide by 10, there is a remainder meaning two posts are more than 10 ft apart. Best way to do this is find side length, divide by 10 and realize each side needs 124 posts. Multiply by 4 to get 496.

In a question like this, does there have to be a post at every corner? Or only if the question says so?
