Right Triangle Trigonometry: Ratios of Similar Triangles
- Topic:
- Trigonometry
1) Choose an angle measure you want to explore
2) Change the size of the triangle (note that the triangles are similar because the angles are the same: AA~)
3) Move the triangle around
4) Observe the different ratios of the sides - does it matter what size the triangle is, where the triangle is, or what the angle is?
