    Multiplying fractions (newbie question)

    I'm 22. Just about to turn 23. I got through all high school math classes using rote memorization, and even ended up in the advanced math classes later on. I'm now forced to re-learn everything, seeing as I never visually understood how math related to geometrical concepts or even how...

    How Can Trigonometry Be Used to Find Distances in Perspective?

    Incidentally, I know that I simply need to understand the distance between each of the corner points of the cube and the direction of view (line connecting the viewpoint with the projection plane at a right angle). Once I know that distance, I can use the law of similar triangles (or, as I call...

    How Can Trigonometry Be Used to Find Distances in Perspective?

    Well, I'm still working on this. It's been quite some time since I asked my initial question. When I first posted this question, I barely understood how perspective worked. Since then, I've struggled very hard for nearly 2 years (just about) to visually understand how perspective worked and...

    Multiplying fractions (newbie question)

    I'm having a bit of trouble with fraction multiplication. I understand the concept visually, but don't understand why the mechanical multiplication method works the way it does. Please bear with my descriptions, I'm just learning fractions (as well as basic math operations)and want to show how...

    How Can Trigonometry Be Used to Find Distances in Perspective?

    hmm... okay, I don't understand the 'tan' or the reasoning behind this explanation, but I'm doing some research now on it. Thank you very much.

    How Can Trigonometry Be Used to Find Distances in Perspective?

    Hi there everyone, I'm troubled with a certain problem. I'm trying to locate the circles of view in perspective using math rather than using a right angle tool to manually locate the circles of view. I've summarized my problem in the picture below...
