Determining Coordinates using Trig Functions ( and )
Directions:
1. Construct a line segment from P perpendicular to the x-axis
2. Use the trigonometric rations for a angle to label the sides of the triangle formed in step 1.
3. Which sides of the right triangle give the coordinate of point P?
4. What are the coordinates of P?
5. Slide both sliders ( to and to ). What are the new coordinates of P?
