This example demonstrates the definition of trigonometric ratios in a right triangle. Key mathematical concepts include trigonometric functions, the relationship between angles and sides. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Point, and Polygon, the example constructs a right triangle and illustrates the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent. Suitable for students in middle school and above to learn basic concepts of trigonometric functions.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → A
  2. Point(xAxis) → B
  3. Polygon(A, B, C) → polígono1, c, a_1, b
  4. OrthogonalLine(D, c) → d
  5. Intersect(b, d) → E
  6. Polygon(A, D, E) → polígono2, e, a_2, d_1
  7. Angle(D, A, E) → α

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a right triangle to demonstrate the definition of trigonometric ratios. Start by plotting the intersection of the x and y axes, and a point on the x-axis. Connect these points with another point to form a triangle. Then draw a perpendicular line from the right angle vertex to the hypotenuse, meeting it at a point. Connect this point to the right angle vertex to form a smaller triangle. Label the sides of both triangles and indicate one acute angle, showing that the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse equals the sine, the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse equals the cosine, and the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side equals the tangent.
