Paid you a great compliment in my main comment. This...<p>&quot;a% of b = b% of a?&quot;<p>Seems like a bit of a cheat as it&#x27;s too obvious. I did 25% of a 100 to keep it simple as we use quarters and dollars a lot. Also can visualize it as a rectangle or stack of boxes that I take one chunk out of. Maybe use word &quot;whole&quot; or phrase &quot;all of&quot; for 100% to make 2nd part more obvious. I took a chunk out of all of that stack. All of this chunk equals the chunk I took. See? Too obvious. Stay on the harder shit like e, trig, etc.<p>&quot;Trig functions (sine, cosine, tan, etc.) are actually themselves percentages. A sine of .95 means you are at 95% of your maximum height (where the max is the hypotenuse).&quot;<p>Boom! Excellent example. I understood it almost entirely in equations back when I did it. Outside of some examples with trees and stuff we rarely got to sit on what the terms mean. So, let&#x27;s see if I follow that.<p>So, a sine of 0.95 is like putting a protractor on a picture of a right triangle and marking a chunk of it that goes 95% to the top of that? If I did it visually, that is. Looking up the other two&#x27;s definitions I found someone already did the visual thing I was attempting although not quite there yet in presentation (see pictures w&#x2F; angles):<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mathsisfun.com&#x2F;sine-cosine-tangent.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mathsisfun.com&#x2F;sine-cosine-tangent.html</a><p>SO, if we do it visually on those pics, does the percentage the sine represents start as a line coming from bottom-right to hypoteneuse? And where do the other two start? Or is my intuition screwing with me? ;)
