    Triangles/Max-Min Question

    The question didn't say anything specifying otherwise. But I think that is implied, yes. As for the hypotenuse I'm pretty sure it can't equal zero; Part B is worth 4 marks so it don't think it's that simple.

    Triangles/Max-Min Question

    ATAR Estimate

    Our Dux usually gets low to mid 99s, the Top 10 students on the Honour Roll range from high 96 to low 99, and around 50 people get an ATAR greater than 90. From my knowledge our cohort strength doesn't change too much from year to year. Does that help?

    Really? I thought it was on the 4th August. I hope your right, doing it in the middle of the Trials would be a pain.
