[color=#000000]This applet accompanies the [/color][i][color=#0000ff]Right Triangle Trigonometry: Intro[/color][/i][color=#000000] activity packet you received at the beginning of class today. Use this applet to help you complete the guiding questions in this activity. [/color]

[color=#980000][b]Key Question: [/b][/color] [br][br][color=#000000]Hopefully, you noticed that when you keep the blue angle fixed and move only the white vertices, the value of each ratio never changes (even though the side lengths do)! [/color][i]Why does this occur? [/i][color=#ff00ff] Explain! [br][br][/color][color=#0000ff]The opposite and hypotenuse in the same rate, or change proportionally, this causes the ratio to be the same. The only time that the ratio changes is when the measurement of the angle changes.[/color]
