This example demonstrates the trigonometric ratios in a right triangle. It involves basic properties of right triangles and trigonometric functions. Using GeoGebra commands such as Line, Point, OrthogonalLine, Dilate, Segment, Angle, and Polygon, it constructs a right triangle and illustrates the relationships between its sides and angles. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn trigonometry and geometric construction.

  6. Dilate(D, f, C) → D'
  7. Dilate(E, c, C) → E'
  8. Dilate(D', scale, C) → D''
  9. Dilate(E', scale, C) → E''
  10. Segment(C, E'') → d
  11. Segment(E'', D'') → e
