   How is it she managed to get such a big Latina heritage and such big feet but such a tiny brain???

   I can relate in a way. I took Trig have never used it. Educational system needs an overhaul.

   Universal balance, would be my guess..

   Good thing that her heart seems to match her feet and her ‘Latina heritage’…

   I used trig and didn’t know it at first. I had a job balancing industrial fan rotors and I would take vector and displacement readings, add weight and read again till balanced.

   Gotta brag. I did this in my head faster than the computer could do it (which was an Atari 800 at the time).

   I have yet to use Trig in the real world. There are a lot of things I learned in school that I haven’t used. That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have learned them (although trig and calculus are right on the edge).

   Though she’s right. Trigonometry doesn’t need word problems. And considering the advanced thinking skills you get from learning higher mathematics, just because you wind up in a career where trig isn’t necessary in and of itself doesn’t mean it did no good at all. I’m glad I took it, even though I wound up pushing a mouse for a living instead.

   Hmmm. Don’t you have to pass algebra and geometry before they let you take trig? Maybe standards are different at Yenny’s college. Anyway I’m not sure what use trig would be for a model. I’m still confused on the connection between trig and acorns. LOL

    Word problems, in any branch of mathematics, serve to train your brain in how to apply math to real world problems.
    Without word problems, it is possible to learn by rote memorization. Doing this means you can solve any problem that is presented to you in the from of an equation, but you don’t understand how to create the equation.

    Solving a word problem requires you to determine which of the many variables presented are necessary to solve the problem, and how to assemble those variables into an equation that can be solved.

    The best word problems for this type of training do not include all the factors and variables needed to solve the problem.
    You need to be able to identify the missing factors, and supply them from other sources.

    A classic example of this type of problem is the case of two vehicles
    moving towards each other at defined speeds from two identified cities, asking what point they will meet, without defining the distance between the two cities.
    To solve the problem you need to recognize that the problem can not be solved without knowing the distance.
    You can create an equation that will solve the problem, with the distance being “X the unkown”, and the equation can be solved in terms of X, but you need to look up the value of X to completely solve the problem.
