Geometry Regents June 2022 (Questions 25-35)

[@darkch1p]

Hey I appreciate the guide through the questions and your work has really helped me and others find our mistakes and correct them. Thank you!

[@vinteachesmath]

Glad I could help! Math is more of a marathon than a sprint so its good that you are going over your mistakes! If you are taking the retest, I hope it goes well!

[@nat-if1yh]

Thanks for making these review videos! I'm doing some quick study review before I take the test in a few hours...I just watched your multiple choice video and you explained it so well and clear that I got more confident for taking the test in a few hours so thanks!

[@vinteachesmath]

Glad it was helpful and I hope your test went well! Let me know how you did!

@@vinteachesmath Hello! I just got my grade back and I surprisingly got a better grade than I imagined! I thought I really failed the exam…thanks to your video, I passed!

i’m so scared for the regents. i feel like the geo regents rlly try to trick u and when i do practice regent problems, i keep falling for their small sneaky tricks. i rlly do not want to retake it so tysm for ur help it helps me understand the questions and my mistakes

[@vinteachesmath]

I call those the beartrap! Watch out for them, they are scattered throughout the test! A lot of your peers are scared right now; the best you can do is prepare, show up, and put your best math down on the paper! Good luck tomorrow!

Thank you for your videos I am so grateful to you I am looking to join the army in december I failed my avsab exam like 3 times this coming december I will retake the exan the military I feel your vidoes are helping me to understand math in a better way thank you so much

[@vinteachesmath]

The math is tricky on that test, especially without a calculator. I am very impressed with your commitment and no-quit mindset. I hope the test goes well this December! Let me know how it goes!

oh wow I really have no hope for myself tomorrow 😭thank you for still trying to help everyone struggling, I just can't wrap my mind around everything.

[@vinteachesmath]

Hang in there! Just show up and do your best! Try to imagine yourself passing! You want to show up to battle confident!

4:18 thank you so much for pointing out this bear trap because I accidentally put the slant height but that didn’t seem right when I multiplied everything, so I looked back at any referencing videos and was able to figure out the correct answer on my practice regents because I got this for my homework assignment in order to prepare for the regents in class.

[@vinteachesmath]

There are bear traps everywhere in math! Which topics are most challenging in geometry?

[@annie_Na00]

@@vinteachesmath the most difficult unit for me was probably similarity and/or proofs. But I loved trigonometry this year; SOH CAH TOA for the win!

[@1Itsis2]

Going to take the regents and mock test so this helps a lot. THANK YOU

[@vinteachesmath]

I hope your mock test goes well! What topics are most challenging?

[@1Itsis2]

I'm having trouble with most things, but one of them is proving if something is a parallelogram or, more generally, doing proofs where you have a statement and reasoning

[@ryebread-xi9xg]

I have a regents tomorrow and this is really helpful for the types of things i forgot lol thank you!! :)

[@deeanna-oq8qi]

thank you so much Mr. Vin, you've been helping me a lot to prepare for the exam in June! I have a quick question if you can answer, what should I do to memorize what I need to do for every question, it gets very tricky to remember how to solve every question, and how to use the calculator for it if that makes sense. Should I watch more videos and practice all the regent exams?

[@vinteachesmath]

I am happy to help! The key to being able to answer any variation of a question is understanding the concept. As you go through more practice questions, do a deep dive and look for connections between the other Regents exams. Try to answer: Are there questions that show up frequently? For any topic, what is the most challenging question you have encountered so far? Is there an easier way to do this question? Why are the other MC responses wrong? I will do a live stream the day before the Geometry regents

[@jenlisbts1018]

I got a regents at the end of the January 😭

[@vinteachesmath]

Good luck on your regents. You practicing now means a lot, keep up the hard work!

[@annie_Na00]

Hi Mr. V,for Q35 since specifically it’s not asking us to distinguish the rhombus from another shape, couldn’t it be proved that it can also be a square since all the sides of a square are congruent like wouldn’t we have to prove diagonals of a rhombus not congruent to distinguish the two shapes?

[@vinteachesmath]

Showing the 4 sides of a quadrilateral are congruent proves that the quadrilateral is a rhombus. To prove that a quadrilateral is a square, you can prove that you have a rhombus with a right angle, or you can prove that you have a rhombus with congruent diagonals. For this question, we cannot establish that AA'C'C is a square because the angles are not right.

[@kelvinmaldonado5177]

While I love the work you do the way you do it may be confusing. For example in question 35 you could’ve just used tje graph paper that is given to you, plot your triangle, then figured out the sides by forming 3 other right triangles with the sides of triangle abc as their hypotenuse then used Pythagorean theorem. It’s a lot less work, more efficient, and you get the same results. I do appreciate your work though❤❤

[@vinteachesmath]

In my distance formula video, I show that method! I was in the mood to use the distance formula!

[@ibrokhimbakirov2138]

For question 31, I made a perpendicular line which intersects point c. Then I drew another perpendicular line on the perpendicular line that I've made so that it goes through point C. And if 2 lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel. Is this right?

[@vinteachesmath]

That works! There are many ways to construct parallel lines, I only showed the "copy an angle" method because that is the most popular method. Was the two perpendicular lines your own creativity or did your teacher show you that?!

[@SSCWDProductions]

Hey on question 34 I sware I could have gotten it right because for my volume I got 3.14… and then I multiples that by 2/3 and then that by 10 and got 20.94 in which I rounded to 21. If you see my mistake please help me

[@yasmin-ii4jt]

question 30 was really confusing because i was never introduced to completing the square in my geometry class

[@vinteachesmath]

That is a tricky topic. For future regents, I would look up all the topics that will be on the test and go through each topic one by one. If your teacher ran out of time, learn those topics on youtube. It will seem tricky but it is definitely a good experience to self teach yourself a few math topics.

[@chunbinhuang3552]

Ummm I don’t know if u will be answering this but for the first question for trigonometry why we have to put 183.27 DIVIDE by sin 86.03.Cause I do 183.27sin( 86.03

[@chunbinhuang3552]

Also that the answer I got from urs is very close like I get 182.8302323

[@darkch1p]

@@chunbinhuang3552 I don't know. That's the only side with information so you do 183.27 divided by sin (86.03) that's the way I was taught.

[@chunbinhuang3552]

Is it true that the degree number always goes to the back of the tric function we using.Like we are using sin and then the degree is 80 then it’s going to be sin80

[@chunbinhuang3552]

I’m a little bit confuse with trigonometry so I need little help

will this be the same exam question’s in august for the retake

no, it'll be different but similar.
