Batman finds the critical angle

BONUS
Find the critical angle of a plate of glass with n=1.6
It is 2.15 degrees!
Batman said! It must be true! He is Batman after all.
not this time

Tyler, one of our six ZOoF readers, wrote: "I had run out of time for the bonus ( I had a minute left) so I drew a quick Batman in hopes he would give me some points."

Thanks Tyler, that made me chuckle!

Math Bunny


Determine the volume of each of the two cones. Show all work to receive full credit.


I have no clue but if you write 12 and another 12 under it it could make a bunny.



(TIL how to draw a bunny.)

Using math in real life!

4. Rob had a 10 ft by 12 ft wall painted. For a wall twice as wide, the painter charged him twice as much. Is this reasonable? Explain.

If the width is doubled, the area doubles, so this is reasonable. But then again, Rob could've painted the wall himself.

Smart ass.

Rainbow and a Bunny


35 The base of a triangle is (2x+4)m and the area is (2x+5x+2)m.
How much longer is the base than the height?

I have no idea but here's a rainbow to make up for it.
And a bunny...

SUCCESS!!!!!!!

Terrible Reasoning

One of the triangles Q, R and S below is congruent to triangle P.

R because it crosses the 'C' in 'specimen'. C is the first letter of congruent so it must surely be the correct triangle. It is a sign from the heavens - R triangle is the congruent one! plus when you put R+C together you get RC - race car. Race car backwards is racecar - the palindrome indicates that the 'R' triangle is the same as the 'P' triangle.

I think I got and F :(

No you got a Ca, (Nearly B!) must be a sign from heavens.


What is a 'Ca' grade?

Complimentary Angles


3. Name an angle complimentary to BDC:
You look much thinner from over here

Too bad there aren't any marks on this one, because I'd be curious to see if the teacher took this as flattery, an insult or just stupidity.

Easiest Geometry Test Evar?


How could anyone fail this test?

Your square doesn't have 4 90 degree corners
Your rectangle has four sides of different length
Your circle isn't 'circular' enough
Your oval isn't 'ovular' enough
Your regular trapezoid doesn't have the required parallel lines and matching angles
Your triangle lines overlap each other
Your hexagon isn't 'hexagonal' enough

Try again, and don't worry you can retake this college entrance exam as many times as you want.
