In collections Trigonometric Identities
This example demonstrates how to derive new trigonometric identities using similar right triangles. Key math concepts include similarity transformations, secant lines, and trigonometric functions. GeoGebra commands and objects used in the construction are Circle, Tangent, Segment, Intersect, OrthogonalLine, Line, Point, Angle, Rotate, CircleSector, Dilate, Vector, and Translate. Suitable for high school mathematics education to understand and apply trigonometric identities.
