How it's used
Beyond its literal mathematical sense, this word is the standard way to describe a person's mental stance or approach to a situation. It is frequently used in professional or analytical contexts to suggest that a problem is not unsolvable, just viewed from the wrong direction. Using it with the verb 換 suggests a conscious effort to empathize or gain clarity.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 度, which is the actual unit of measurement for angles. While 角度 refers to the concept of an angle or a perspective, 度 is the specific number of degrees, such as 九十度.
