This activity demonstrates how to find exact trigonometric ratios through geometric construction. Core concepts include sine and cosine in trigonometry. Using GeoGebra commands such as Random, Polygon, Circle, Intersect, etc., any triangle can be constructed and its exact trigonometric ratios calculated. Suitable for high school math education and learning.
