i truly cannot thank you enough

The root 2 shortcut is such a time-saver!

Boss level for a BOSS teacher!

the world would be a better place if all teachers taught like Philip 😇

Honestly speaking, you provide such a great variety of questions which helps to understand the concept way better in almost every possible way. Thank you soo much

I'm so excited that I was able to solve the boss-level question! Where have you been my entire life? I always struggled in high school with geometry questions, and now I'm preparing for the GRE and you're just saving my life! You make everything look so easy, thank youu so muchh!

So glad to hear Shaima

I stuck with the diagonal small side length procedure only. rest was easy. thanks.

Thanks Philip !! Amazing tips you have shared .

Thank you so much for this video!

A like goes to you, though i knew your insider secret @05:11 (diagonal of a square forms an isosceles right triangle whose sides are in the ratio 1:1:square root 2 )😉,the like is for your great content which is very helpful and I really appreciate it. 😊

I loved this! Beautiful explanation!

Thanks Philips. I was able to correctly solve the boss level question on my own !

I love the way u explain each details

I had no idea about this trick! Thank you!

Love this guy

This is very helpful. God bless you abundantly 🙏

This topic is indeed quite daunting!! However, everything seems easier with such a lucid explanation. I'm just binging all your videos. Thanks

Thank you!

I really wanted this video 😊👍🏻👌🏻, Thanks a ton.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, especially the boss level question

Taking the GRE this friday, been binging this series during my last week of prep. Thank you, I'm glad these are free and hopefully do well enough I will not have to take it again.

Love you so much sir for making such knowledgeable and valuable content free of cost. GOD bless you ❤.

Your videos are very helpfull please do post regularly for quant and verbal (RC)

Wow this is so good thank you!

Very helpful!

Hey Philip, this is a wonderful video. Can you make a video on GRE RC long ones and paradox questions and how to approach them?

Thank you

so helpful!!!

Thanks.

im in 6th grade, this helped a TON.

Thanks for your usual video it's great Always waiting for updates

See if you get my latest boss level video question right...

Greatttt job

Thanks Philip! Btw there is a shortcut to find the area of the square using the diagonal only, i.e., area of square=1/2*(side of the diagonal)^2.

So helpful! thanks!

Thanks Phillips u put forward great contents in ur videos.... Can u please make a video on every possible type of question form based on numbers that can be asked in gre...or very recurrently asked with examples as u always do...as it is somtimes difficult to solve them

Crisp explanation as always, Philip! I wanted to suggest a slightly alternative approach for the boss-level question. Once you obtain the radius, you can subtract the area of the sector (a quarter of a circle) from the right-angled isosceles triangle (diagonals of a square are perpendicular to each other) to obtain the area of the shaded region. It avoids division by the square root and a further division by 4. Time is money!

I was happy that I got boss level question correct and I quickly solved it! Thanks sir!

So much is this stuff is common sense. I'm not saying that in regards to you getting it right, of course. I just have to keep telling myself that. I see a problem and I'll stall and wait for the answer. And once he explains it, I say to myself "I knew that". Like this question, for example. I need to have more confidence in my ability.

So helpful!! Per usual :) When I tried the "boss level" question I was so excited to feel like I was solving the greatest math question there ever was...(lol) that I made a stupid mistake and got the wrong answer! I wrote down 4 for squaring root 2 instead of 2. *facepalm* At least I understood the equations and principles. I take the GRE general test next Thurs, Aug 3 - you may see a plethora of comments from me in the next 6 days :p Thanks again Phillip! Cheers! -Hillary

nice

Great video!! Also, are these the only types of questions in GRE? As in aren't there any questions where the circle inscribed in a square is not touching all sides of the square or something like that?

Got the boss level woohoo!! used your short cut of root 2 multiplied by the side for diameter, makes it so much easier than working out pythagoras !! infact, ETS Power Prep Plus 3 had a similar question about a circle inscribed inside a square , and that square was also inside a bigger circle ! they were asking for the ratio of the area between the bigger to smaller circle . Piece of cake after watching this, it was like your two examples combined ♥😊

A practice question I had in this style that stumped me asked about the minimum area of a square inscribed within another square. I could not for the life of me think about rotating the inner square and just spent the whole time wondering how that’s possible 😅

Hey Philip, loved this technique soo much. Thanks a ton 💯💯. Have a doubt though: it is necessary to have the 'pi' in the answer too.. or can't we just multily it with the rest and produce an integer as answer?

@anvitpatil3260

2 жыл бұрын

i think that would depend on the options we get, for example: the boss question had answer 4pi-8 but we can substitute pi=3.14 to get the answer 4.56 which is correct as well

Hey! Can you please help me with a GRE prep plan. Please, I hope you will help me.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

In the boss level question, why can't we convert 8 into 2root2 and cancel the root2 in both numerator and denominator?

I have a doubt in the boss level question. Like we got 8/ˇ2 ... can't we simplify it at first place and get one side of square as 2 and then get its area?

Hi Phillip! I am absolutely LOVING all your GRE videos! A million thanks! I'm learning so much, but believe I overthink problems all too often. For instance, on the "boss level" problem in this particular video, I tried subtracting the triangle area from the sector area that includes the shaded area. It became a bit of a mess, but I ended up getting the first part of the answer correct. That leads me to believe I could have found the correct answer, but can't figure out where it all went wrong. Is it even worth trying to get help for something like this, or just try to force my brain into the method presented?

Not quite sure what you did there but if you have time best to understand where you went wrong rather than force something. If there is a specific example of other problems this is applying to, do let me know and I might do a video on it. Either way thank you for the kind words Lisa
