Q
Ballparking Geometry - work order - start with a snapshot ballpark
A
Always Start with a snapshot ballpark:
1) Compare the target value (length/area/angle) to a given value in the question - how many times does one fit into the other?
2) Quickly eliminate out all answers that are clearly out of the ballpark.
If more than 1 answer is left standing - choose whether to:
→ Proceed to finer POE considerations
→ Proceed to a direct geometric calculation
The benefit of a snapshot ballpark is a quick elimination of dangerous answer choices which represent common calculation errors and careless mistakes. Snapshot ballparking is faster and safer.
