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.
[br]Write out rules that you could use to find the sine, cosine, and tangent of any acute angle in a right triangle. Include a diagram.[br][br][color=#0000ff]To find the sine, you must divide the opposite by the hypotenuse; s=o/h. In order to find the cosine, you must divide the adjacent by the hypotenuse; c=a/h. In order to find the tangent, you must find the opposite length and divide it by the adjacent.[br][table][tr][td]sin[/td][td][/td][td]x[/td][td]=[/td][td]o/h[/td][/tr][tr][td]cos[/td][td][/td][td]x[/td][td]=[/td][td]a/h[/td][/tr][tr][td]tan[/td][td][/td][td]x[/td][td]=[/td][td]o/a[/td][/tr][/table][/color]
