Is this necessary what would we need this skill in in future education throughout maths?
ReplyDeleteThis is a very useful skill. It enables you to accurately draw a equilateral triangle. You can also draw countless other shapes such as a square, pentagon, hexagon - you name it!
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a very useful skill. There are many things that we learn in school but we sometimes fail to see the practical application of them. If I hadn't learned about this, for example, I think I'd have had a hard time buying all the furniture for my bedroom and being sure that all would fit.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great job, kids!
