First, the main procedures and the distinctive features of the most-obtuse-angle（MOA）row or column pivot rules are introduced for achieving primal or dual feasibility in linear programming. Then, two special auxiliary problems are constructed to prove that each of the rules can be actually considered as a simplex approach for solving the corresponding auxiliary problem. In addition, the nested pricing rule is also reviewed and its geometric interpretation is offered based on the heuristic characterization of an optimal solution.
