Are the figures similar? |
Sine and Cosine of Complementary angles

Exploration of Sine and [b]Co[/b]sine of [b]co[/b]mplementary angles (Adapted from work by tohweeteck on GeogebraTube) |

|
What is the complement of a 35 degree angle? Click on Sin Theta Click on Complementary angle Click on Sin (90 - theta) Click on Cos(90- theta) Change theta to 25 degrees and look at the values What conjecture can you make? Do the same process with the cosine. |

Cavalieri's Principle
Cavalieri's Principle applies in many contexts, but this is the most fundamental.[br][br]This sketch was the idea of Jill Knaus (@JillKnaus) and goes with the start of a lesson plan for the Principle (Common Core HSG-GMD.A.2): [url]http://bit.ly/1hiHIUI[/url] [br][br]The sketch asks:[br]What do you notice?[br]What can you change? [br]Compare & contrast the triangles and their measures.[br]What do you wonder about?

Module 4 Lesson 1
M5L2 1. Diameter and Chord
[color=#000000]Once you slide the slider in the applet below, you'll immediately notice a chord drawn and a[/color] [b][color=#6d9eeb]diameter drawn to this chord. [/color][/b][br][br][color=#000000]Interact with this applet for a few minutes, then answer the questions that follow. As always, be sure to change the locations of the BIG POINTS at any time before re-sliding the slider. [/color]
[color=#980000][b]Questions:[/b][/color][br][br][color=#000000]1) What does the movement of the[/color] [color=#ff00ff]pink angle[/color] [color=#000000]imply about [b]the intersection[/b] of the diameter and this chord? [/color][br][br][color=#000000]2) Fill in the blank: [br][br]In essence, the action you observed from the[/color] [color=#ff00ff]pink angle[/color] [color=#000000]implies that this[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]and this chord are __________________. [/color][br][br][color=#000000]3) If a[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]intersects a chord in the manner you've described in your response to (2) above, what does this[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]do to this chord? How was this evidenced in the applet above? [br][/color][br][color=#000000]4) If a[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]intersects a chord in the manner you've described in your response to (2) above, what does this[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]do to[/color] [b][color=#000000]the entire arc[/color][/b] [color=#000000]this chord intercepts? How was this evidenced in the applet above? [br][br]5) Formally prove your responses to exercises (3) and (4) above using a 2-column format. [/color]
