Solving Maths Visually

.
Maths is interesting!
There are many exciting concepts and techniques one can apply.
Read on ...

There are many ways to solve a maths question.
Normally it involves taking many steps with related sequence.

However, there are also simple ways to handle a maths problem.

One such solving method is simply through visual steps.
This has no working at all.

What do I mean?

Let's look at an example.

Example:
Determine the angle B from the diagram below. Angle A is 40 degree.


Solution:

Angle B is same as angle A = 40 degree.

There is no working at all. Just the visual determination.

Concept of this trigonometrical question in geometry:
When 2 straight lines cross and meet at an angle to each other, the angle opposite to any one is the same.

As such, angle C is also equal to angle D.

This is visual maths.

Interesting?

:-D
