30 Questions

Numbers:

All numbcrsuscdarc real numbers.

FiSures:

Position of points, angJes,regioos,etc. c:rn be assumedto bc in the order sbown; and angle measures
can be assurnedto bc positive,
Lincs showDas straight can bc assumcd to b straiglt.
Figures can be assumcdto lie in a plane unlcss otherwise indicatcd.
Figures tbat accompany qucstions are intcnded to provide informatioa uscfut in answcring the questions- Hoscver, unlessa notc atates that a figure is drawn to scete,you should solvc thesc-problims
NOT by cstimating sizesby sight or by mcasuremcnt, but by using your lnowlcdge of matlrcmatics (see
Examplc 2 bclow).

Directions: Each of thc QuesJignsl-15 consists of two quantities, onc-in Column A aqd oo. in Column B- you
are to compare thc two quantitiesand choosc

Numbers:

All numbcrs used arc real numben.

Figures:

Position of pcints, angles,regions,etc. can bc assumedto be in tbe order shown; and angle lueasufes
can be assumcd to be positiw.
Lines shown as straight can be assumedto be straight.
Figures can be assumedto lie in a plate unlessotherwiscindicated.
Figurcs that accompany questionsarE intendedto providc information useful in answeringthc guestions. However, unlessa note statesthat a figure is drawn to scale,you should solvetheseproblems
NOT by estimating sizesby sight or by measurement,but by using your knowledgeof mathematics(see
Example 2 below).

Directions: Each of thc Questions l-15 consistsof two quantities,one in Column A and one in Column B. You
ire to cornpare the two qGn-iiiiEiZilEoosc

30 Questions
Numbers;

All numbers usedarc real numbers.

Figures:

Position of points,angles,regions,etc.can be assumedto be in the order shown;and anglemeasures


can be assumedto be positive.
Lines shown as straigbt can be assumedto bc straight.
Figures can be assumedto lie in a plane unlessotherwiseindicated.
Figuresthat accompanyquestionsare intendedto provide information usefulin answeringthc questions. However,unlessa note statesthat a figure is drawn to scale,-voushouldsolvetheseproblems
NOT by estimatingsizesby sight or by measurement.but by using'yourknowledgeof mathematics(see
Example 2 below).

Directions: Each of the Questionsl-15 consistsof two quantitics,one in Column A and one in Column B. You

Position of points, angles,regions,etc. can be assumedto be in the order showa; and angle measures
can be assumedto be positive.
Lines shown as straight can be assumcdto be straight.
Figures can bc as.sumedto lie in a planc unlessotherwisc indicated.
Figurcs_thataccomPanyquestionsare intendedto provide information useful in answering
the questions. However, unlessa note statcsthat a figure is drawn ro scale,you should solve theselroblcms

30 Questions

f$umbers;

All numbers usedare real numben.

Figures:

Position of points, angles,regions,etc. can be assumedto bc in the order shown;and angle measures
can be assumedto be positive.
Lines shbwn as straight can be assumcdto b straight.
Figures can be assumedto lie in a plane unlessotherwisc indicatcd.
Figures that accompanyquestionsare intended to provide information uscful in ansrrcringthe questions. However, unlessa notc statesthat a figure is drawn to scalc,you should solrc thcsc problcms
NOT by cstimating sizesby sight or by measurement,but by using your knowlcdgpof mathematics(sec
Example2 bclow).

Directions: Esch of the Questionsl-15 consistsof two quantities, one in Column A and onc in Colu6n B. you

the rclationshipcanBot be determincd from thc information giwn.

Since there are only four choices,NEVER MARK (E).

Common

IffifGiion:

In a question, information concerningone or both of the quantitiesto be comparedis ccntcredabove

All numbers usedare real numben.

Figures:

Position of points, angles,regions,etc. can be assumedto bc in the order shown;and angle measures
can be assumedto be positive.
Lines shbwn as straight can be assumcdto b straight.
Figures can be assumedto lie in a plane unlessotherwisc indicatcd.
Figures that accompanyquestionsare intended to provide information uscful in ansrrcringthe questions. However, unlessa notc statesthat a figure is drawn to scalc,you should solrc thcsc problcms
NOT by cstimating sizesby sight or by measurement,but by using your knowlcdgpof mathematics(sec

All numbersusedare real numbcrs.

Figures:

Position of points, angles,regions,etc. can be assumedto be in the order shown; and angle measures
can be assumcdto be positive.
Lincs shownas straightcan bc assumedto be straight.
Figurescan be assumedto lie in a plane unlessotherwiseindicated.
Figures_thataccompanyquestionsare intended to provide information usefulin answering the questions. However,unlessa note.statcsthat a figure is drawn to scale,you should solve these-probt.1n,
NoT by estimatingsizesby sightor by measurement,
but by usingyour knowledgeof matiremarics(see
