Copy of Discovering Sine, Cosine, and Tangent in Right Triangles

Use the slider and point D to figure out how sin(A), cos(A), and tan(A) are related to a, b, and c and to the size of the triangle. Record your observations in an organized table.

A3.42/109.4/103.42/9.4
B9.4/103.42/109.4/3.42

First You'll need to find the acute angle, in this case it is angle A(20 degrees) that is acute. To find the sine for this angle you need to follow the rule of S=opposite/hypotenuse. To find the cosine of the angle you must follow the rule of C=adjacent/hypotenuse. Finally to find the tangent of any acute angle, you must follow the rule of T=opposite/adjacent.
