Discovering Trig Ratios
Look at the ratio of sides in the right triangle below.
Opposite= The side across from angle β
Adjacent= The side next to angle β
Hypotenuse= The side across from the right angle
-These three sides can be divided in what we call Trigonometric Ratios.
Instructions: Move the angle slider below the triangle and point B to create different triangles. View the ratios beside the triangle. When do they change? When do they stay the same?
