Introduction to Trigonometric Functions

Autor:amiller_pavcs, azb, Miss Evans
This is an introduction to the main trigonometric functions of sine, cosine, and tangent. Sine, cosine, and tangent are commonly abbreviated as 'sin', 'cos', and 'tan'. The input of a trigonometric function is an angle measure (labeled as θ below).
Move the right angle vertex and the slider to change the size and shape of the triangle. Observe what happens to the values.

How do the trig functions relate to the ratios of the sides?
