Law of Sines (Illustrated)

Applet contains modifiable triangle in which students can clearly see that the ratio of any side length of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side always remains invariant, regardless of which side of the triangle (and its opposite angle) is considered. Yet it also allows for the student to discover that the value of this ratio is equal to the diameter of the triangle's circumscribed circle!
