ni li wawa. I have to get dinner - but after, can I try back-translating to see if I've followed it?

I probably should have spoiled þe photos

No, the photos and the text go together - they provide the right context!

|| If you want to know the sine method of dividing the circle, do this:
Draw a triangle. This triangle has a part of a circle like one part of 4 of the circle [I'm guessing this is a quarter circle - fractions are difficult in tp!); give names to all parts of the circle of this big fruit (?? or is this a type for kiki? I'm guessing it might be from the diagram. And I love the labels! ||
|| Now that I understand the word you're using for angle: Draw a triangle, This triangle has a right angle. Give names ot all the angles of this big triangle ||

|| find out the part of the circle you want using the sine method
the way of knowing the sine method is this:
the size of this side: this side does not have a drawing of your part of the circle and is not the hypotenuse / the size of the hypotenuse
Oh! does kipisi sike mean angle?? - that makes more sense now ||
|| Trying again: Find out the angle you want using the sine method. The size of this side: this side does not have the marking of your angle nor is it the hypotenuse / the size of the hypotenuse ||

It was really well explained!

I made some typos

#

Ðanks!

#

Maþ in TP is hard to explain

still citrus
#

It really is. Geometry is a little easier - but once you get to trying to deal with proportions, fractions etc., it's difficult.

Yeah fractions are tough
