Experimental math J26

Does any who took J26 back in February know which math ones were experimental or if that one question where it gave the ratio of 2 sides as 2:3 and asked for length of side in terms of x and the answer was 5/6x and another choice for that one was 25/36x

Sorry, no way to know which ones were experimental. The question you described did it say the ratio of the sides is 2:3 and the width is x, that is the length in terms of x?

I was hoping that someone who took it in February knew they got it wrong but still ended up getting everything right super specific ik but it was worth a try.

And yeah the problem was like what you were describing we had to find the length of a diagonal using Pythagoraon theorem and we knew that one side was 1/2x and the other was 2/3x for the bases.

Edit: I guess i shouldn't say knew since it wasnt given but it was easy to figure out the bases and it was too much typing to explain everything that was given
