Question:
Are all the geometry formulas given to students on the digital SAT?
Answer:
No, unfortunately all the formulas are not given on the digital SAT. The density formula is no longer given on the SAT. An easy way to remember the formula is to draw a heart and then to draw a horizontal line through the middle creating an “M” divided by a “V.” Density equals “mass” over “volume.”
