This example demonstrates how the movement of a point on the unit circle corresponds to the sine curve through animation. It involves core math concepts like the unit circle, trigonometric functions, sine curve, and geometric construction. Key GeoGebra commands used include Intersect, Point, Circle, and CircleArc. Suitable for high school students to understand the geometric origin and dynamic relationship of trigonometric function graphs.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → A
  2. Point(xAxis) → B
  3. Circle(A, B) → c
  4. Point(c) → C
  5. CircleArc(A, B, C) → d
