Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exaggerating a one-dimensional increase by showing it in two dimensions is a technique used in misleading graphs to make the increase appear larger than it actually is. A pictograph and pie graph do not involve the use of dimensions to exaggerate data, and an ogive is a line graph used to show cumulative data, not one-dimensional increases.
