Suppose that you draw a sketch of your college campus. In reality, one particular road on campus is vaguely U-shaped, but the right-hand portion of the curve is steeper than the left-hand portion. According to your drawing, however, the two portions have the same degree of curvature. This example illustratesa. the 90-degree-angle heuristic. b. the alignment heuristic. c. the rotation heuristic. d. the symmetry heuristic

Quentin Dougherty · Answer 1

d. the symmetry heuristic

Explanation:

George Pólya was one of the founders of the heuristics who was a Hungarian mathematician during 1945.

Heuristic: The term heuristic is defined as a mental shortcut that is being used by human beings for problem-solving, discovery or learning that utilizes a practical method that is not guaranteed as perfect or optimal yet considered as sufficient for the immediate or required goals.

Symmetry heuristic: The term symmetry heuristic is defined as the process in which human beings think of buildings, shapes as more symmetrical than the reality of them.

In the question above, the given statement states the significance of the symmetry heuristics.
