This example illustrates the basic concepts of sine, cosine, and tangent. By constructing a right triangle, it demonstrates the definitions of these trigonometric functions and their changes at different angles. GeoGebra commands such as Line, Point, Segment, Rotate, OrthogonalLine, Intersect, Angle, Midpoint, and Polygon are used. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn the basic properties and applications of trigonometric functions.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a right triangle ABC with A as the right angle, B as the vertex, and C on the base. Rotate point B to get B', and draw a line through A and B'. Construct a perpendicular line from B to this line, intersecting at C. Connect AC and BC to get sides ρ and ψ. Measure angle BAC (φ) and angle ABC (β). Draw triangle ABC and mark midpoints F, G, and H of sides AC, BC, and AB respectively.
