Exploring Trigonometric Ratios by Bonni Pulsipher Jones
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This applet helps students explore trigonometric ratios such as sine, cosine, and tangent through a dynamic right triangle. By adjusting the angle, students can observe changes in side lengths and understand the definitions of these ratios. The construction involves commands like Polygon, Angle, Sinα, Cosα, and Tanα. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn trigonometric concepts.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a dynamic right triangle where adjusting one angle shows the sine, cosine, and tangent values for that angle, along with the dynamic changes in the side lengths. First, construct a triangle, then label its three interior angles, and finally display the sine, cosine, and tangent values of the angles dynamically next to the diagram.
