Graphing Sine & Cosine Functions in Degrees

This GeoGebra example demonstrates how to graph sine and cosine functions with angles measured in degrees, visually connecting the unit circle definition to the periodic wave-like curves. The core mathematical concepts include trigonometric function graphs, periodicity, amplitude, and the relationship between degrees and radians. Construction highlights: using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Vector, Segment, and Distance, along with points, segments, and text objects, the construction builds a dynamic representation where an angle on the unit circle corresponds to the function value, allowing users to observe how the sine and cosine values change as the angle varies. This is suitable for high school or introductory college students learning trigonometric functions, and can be used for classroom demonstrations or self-paced exploration.
