I figured that out in about 5 seconds. It's E.

A: 0.27
B: 0.25
C: 0.375
D: A bit less than 0.2
E: 0.11



Seriously, no quadratic equations? It can't be advanced math without some quadratics!

The 8th graders have to take a test to be promoted to the next grade, and the 11th graders have to take another test to graduate (and they have a whole year to retake it as often as they want if they don't pass.) I remember seeing a lot of the same questions on both of the tests, and this was one of them:

Code:
What is the height of this triangle?
|\
| \
|  \
8|   \ 10
|     \
|____\
   2
a. 2
b. 10
c. 8
d. 20

Here's a practice test if anyone wants to try it... I'm sure just about everyone on Buildism could already graduate from high school in Georgia, since a 50% is passing.

the answer is D

It's a trick question because that isn't a triangle.

You are right, and now that I see the answer is obviously A
