Shibby Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ok today i had my Gcse maths test and on the first paper Section A. At the end of it a question stumped me it was something like theres a box of 100 titles at 1cm squared each, jake(can't remember the names) takes out some titles and makes a square, Saly(yet again can't remember names) uses the rest of the titles to make a square. Did anyone get this question on there paper? If so how did you work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJAJ Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ours is AQA, fuel, i gave it to you that what it said, i am sure of it Everything needed to answer the question is there. Because both kids make squares that means that you are looking for a sum of two squares that makes one hundred. 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 +64 =100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJAJ Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 thanks ajaj, it makes sense now lol. your the first to tell me. Want a cookie? Nope. But if you want you can do my exam on general relativity. Actually no offense but I think I probably better take it, examiners are pretty mean about that sort of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam.sproul Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I just had OCR Mathematics A Paper 5 paper (Higher , Non-calculator), god it was hard, the questions just happened to fall on most of my weaknesses, but everyone found it hard. So I am hoping that the whole country does bad and then the grade boundaries will get moved. YAY. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn't have to phrase it in terms of fish and chips though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibby Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 I noticed that sometimes in exams you don't get much of what you learned, hopefully next maths would be easy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
