Find the area of the shaded region.


(1) m □A = 43°.
(2) AB = 10 cm.

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Statement (1) is not sufficient. The fact that angle A is 43 degrees does not give you enough information about the rest of the triangle or the circle. Statement (2) is also not sufficient. Even though the diameter, or , equals 10, you cannot assume that this is the altitude or height of the triangle.



A circle and a straight line are drawn on the same coordinate graph. In how many places do the two graphs intersect?

(1) The equation of the circle is x2 + y2 = 25.
(2) The y-intercept of the straight line is 6.

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

From statement (1), the circle is centered at the origin and has a radius of 5. This obviously is not sufficient because it does not tell you anything about the line. Even though statement (2) gives you the y-intercept of the line, since you do not know the slope, the line could intersect the circle in 0, 1, or 2 different places. Neither statement is sufficient.



Michael left a city in a car traveling directly west. Katie left the same city two hours later going directly east traveling at the same rate as Michael. How long after Katie left will they be 350 miles apart?

(1) An hour and a half after Katie left they are 250 miles apart.
(2) Michael’s destination is 150 miles farther than Katie’s.

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Using distance = rate × time and the facts from statement (1), you can calculate the time they will be 350 miles apart. You are told that they are traveling at the same rate. To solve for the rate, you can use the equation that relates Michael’s distance plus Katie’s distance, which equals 250 miles at a time of 1.5 hours. Once the rate is known you can then solve for the time when they are 350 miles apart. Statement (2) is unnecessary information and does not help you to solve for the time.



What is the area of the shaded region?


(1) ΔABC is equilateral.
(2) The length of is 16 inches.

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Because you know that the triangle is equilateral from statement (1), you also know that each side has the same measure and that each angle is 60 degrees. This does not, however, tell you the length of the diameter or radius of the circle, which you need to know in order to find the area. Statement (2) alone is also insufficient because it tells you the length of one side of the triangle, but no other information about the figure. Using both statements together, the diameter is then 16; thus, the radius is 8. Therefore, the area of the semicircle can be calculated.



What is the slope of line m?

(1) Line m intersects the x-axis at the point (4, 0).
(2) The equation of line m is 3y = x – 4.

  1. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.
  2. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.
  3. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLY statement (1) or statement (2).
  4. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.
  5. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Statement (2) is sufficient. Change the equation to y = mx + b form, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. 3y = x – 4 becomes. The slope of the line is 1/3. Statement (1) is not sufficient because we cannot tell the slope of line by only looking at the x-intercept.
