Re: Help :)
Hi LALALALALA;
I just learned this myself, right now!
You really should be trying these on your own. This was fun! I am going to let you finish.
Took me 4 times just to get the drawing right. I am using this which is also a lot of fun.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
