Imagine a bug sitting on the end of a fan blade where the blade is 6 ft. [br][br][color=#0000ff]What are some ways we can track the movement of the bug?[br][br]What is vertical height of the bug (above the horizontal) at...[br]a) 3 o'clock[br]b) 12 o'clock[br]c) 9 o'clock[br]d) 6 o'clock[br][br]What about the horizontal distance?[/color][br]

How is the height changing as the angle measure increases?[br][br]For each successive equal change of angle measure from the 9 o'clock position to the 3 o'clock position how do the corresponding changes in horizontal distance change? Vertical distance?[br][br]Think about the relationship you investigated between the vertical height and angle measure and horizontal distance and angle measure.[br][br]What do you think this graph of these relationships will look like?
