When the green flag is clicked, the triangle is a 45-45-90 (you can see the 1 : 1 : 1 square root of 2 ratio) use turbo mode for best effects drag the 2 and 3 to change the right triangle (It will always be a right triangle) The numbers are rounded; if you want to see the exact numbers, see inside and check the variables
Yay! I just learned functions of trig, and decided to make a project with it! In case you didn't know, here is some background information needed to enjoy the project (you need to know at least some math to understand this): - right triangles are triangles with one right angle. The right angle (or a 90 degree angle) in this triangle is where two sides meet at the lower left dot. - some special triangles include 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles (the numbers are angle measures). They are "special" because there is a clear ratio of the triangle's sides (a ratio is a comparison between two things). Using the ratios, we can find the lengths of the other sides of that triangle with one side length given. - trigonometry, or trig, is the study of triangles, but is used in much more than triangles. - in this project, the inverse of sine is used. Sine is a function of trig that is used in right triangles. It is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse (the side opposite of the right angle) of the right triangle. For example, if I wanted to find the sine of angle 3, I would do the ratio of side 1-2 to side 2-3 - Sine is usually used to find the sides of a triangle when we know an angle of the triangle. The inverse of sine just means that we know the sides, but we need to find the angle measure. - Another cool right triangle side relationship: the pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two legs (not-hypotenuse sides) equals the square of the hypotenuse
