Go to http://www.geogebratube.org/student/m9694, you should see a dynamic right triangle.

1. Set your triangle so that angle A is 35 . 2. change the lengths of the sides 3. complete the table below
Angle A Length BC Length AC Length BC Length AC

35 35 35 35 7. What do you notice? 8. Using a calculator, calculate: sin 35o = 10. How is this related to the values that you calculated in the tables above? 9. Calculate sin of your other angle: sin ____ =_____ 11. Using only a calculator, predict the value if you set angle A to 82o and calculated ?

12. Describe sin and what it calculates, using a complete sentence:

13. Using sin, show how you could find the length of BC:
