Slide Number 1
Title Slide |
Welcome to this tutorial on Introduction to Trigonometry using GeoGebra. |
Slide Number 2
Learning Objectives |
In this tutorial, we will learn how to construct,
A unit circle A right triangle inside the unit circle using GeoGebra. |
Slide Number 3
Pre-requisites |
To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with the
GeoGebra interface, basics of geometry, trigonometry and graphs. |
Slide Number 4
System Requirement |
Here I am using-
Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04 GeoGebra 5.0.388.0-d. |
Show the GeoGebra window. | I have already opened the GeoGebra interface. |
Click on Move Graphics View tool. | Click on Move Graphics View tool. |
Drag the origin to the centre. | Drag the origin to the centre of the Graphics view. |
Click on Zoom In tool >> click on screen in Graphics view. | Under Move Graphics View, click on Zoom In tool.
Then click on screen in Graphics view. This will magnify the Graphics view. |
Click on Slider tool >> click on screen | Click on Slider tool and then click on the screen in Graphics view. |
Point to the dialog box. | Slider dialog appears in the Graphics view. |
Point to Number radio. | By default, the Number radio-button is selected. |
Type Name as radius . | In the Name field, type radius. |
Change Min, Max and Increment values. | Set Min(minimum) value as 1, Max(maximum) value 5 and Increment of 0.1. |
Click OK button. | Click OK button. |
Point to the slider.
Drag to show the changing values. |
This creates a number slider named radius.
Using the slider, radius can be changed from 1 to 5 in increments of 0.1. |
Click on Slider tool >> click on screen in Graphics view. | Click on Slider tool and then click on the screen in Graphics view. |
Point to the dialog box. | Slider dialog box appears. |
Click on Angle radio button. | This time, select Angle radio button. |
Change Min, Max and Increment values. | Min(minimum), Max and Increment should be 00, 3600 and 10, respectively. |
Click OK. | Click OK. |
Drag to show the changing values. | This sets up alpha slider, on which angle alpha (α) can be changed from 00 to 3600. |
Click on Circle with Center and radius tool. | Click on Circle with Center and Radius tool. |
Place the cursor on the origin and click on it. | Place the cursor on the origin (0,0) and click on it. |
Text box | Circle with Centre and Radius text box appears. |
Type radius in the text box, click OK. | In text box, type radius and click OK . |
Point to the circle at the center. | A circle with center A at the origin is drawn.
Please note, we are using A for O(0,0). |
Drag the radius slider from 1 to 5 >> leave it at 1. | Drag the radius slider from 1 to 5 to change the radius of the circle.
Drag it to 1 to have a unit circle. |
Click on Segment tool >> click on circumference at the x axis. | Click on Segment tool.
Click on the circumference of the circle at the x Axis. This creates point B. |
Click on point A.
Point to segment AB. |
Then click on point A to draw segment AB. |
Click on Angle with Given Size tool. | Now click on Angle with Given Size tool. |
Click on point B >> point A. | Click on point B, then point A. |
Point to the Angle with Given Size. | Angle with Given Size text-box appears. |
Point to Angle with Given Size text box. | In the text box, delete 450 and select alpha α from the symbol menu. |
Point to counter-clockwise radio button. | Leave direction at counter-clockwise, click OK. |
Angle B'AB (B prime A B) is created which is = beta β which is = alpha α. | |
Drag the α slider. | Drag the alpha α slider from 00 to 3600. |
B' (B prime) moves in counter clockwise direction around the circle as alpha α increases. | |
(ideal angle is between 50-60 degree) | Now drag the alpha α slider so that beta β value is between 50 and 600. |
Click on Point tool>> click outside the circle >> Point to point C. | Click on Point tool and click outside the circle to create point C. |
Double click on C in the Algebra view. | In the Algebra view, double-click on point C to change its coordinates. |
Change co-ordinates of point C to (x(B'), 0) >> press enter. | Type x(B') (x B prime) as x-coordinate and y-coordinate as zero and press Enter. |
Move the cursor to point C. | This will shift point C right under B' (B prime). |
Click on Segment tool >> click on points B' and A. | Click on Segment tool.
Click on points B' (B prime) and A to join them. |
This forms the hypotenuse of the right triangle ACB' (A C B prime). | |
Click on Segment tool >> click on points B' and C. | Now using Segment tool join B' (B prime) and C. |
Point to the right angled triangle ACB' and its angles. | A right angle is formed at C- angle ACB' (A C B prime). |
Angle B'AC (B prime A C) is equal to alpha α0 which is equal to beta β0. | |
Move the α slider from 00 to 3600. | Drag the alpha α slider from 00 to 3600 to see how alpha α changes. |
Formatting the triangle | Let us enhance the visibility of the triangle. |
Double click on angle β >> Select Object Properties. | Double-click on angle beta β.
Click on Object properties. |
Click on Color tab. | Click on the Color tab.
Leave color as green. |
Drag the Opacity slider to 25. | Increase Opacity to 25. |
Click on Style tab >> drag size slider to 50. | Click on Style tab.
Increase size to 50. |
Change Decoration to arrow pointing counter-clockwise. | Change the Decoration to arrow pointing counter-clockwise. |
Close the Preferences dialog-box. | Close the Preferences dialog-box. |
I will now change the properties of the triangle segments. | |
Double click on segment AB' >> Select Object Properties. | To change the colour of the segments, double-click on segment AB' (A B prime).
Select Object Properties. |
Click on Color tab and select blue. | Click on Color tab.
Select blue. |
Double click on segment CB'>> Select Object Properties.
Click on Color tab and select red. Double click on segment AB>> Select Object Properties. Click on Color tab and select orange. |
Similarly, change the colors of CB' (C B prime) to red and of AB to orange. |
Right-click on segment AB'>> Rename >> type c in name field >> click OK. | To rename the segments, right-click on segment AB' (A B prime).
Choose Rename option. Type c in the name field and click OK. |
Right-click on segment CB' >> Rename >> type a in name field >> click OK.
Right-click on segment AC >> Rename >> type b in name field >> click OK. |
Similarly, rename CB' (C B prime) to a and AC to b. |
Click on style tab >> point to line thickness and line style options. | If you wish, you may change the Line Thickness and the Line Style in the Style tab. |
In Algebra view, click and highlight segment a. | In Algebra view, click and highlight segment a. |
Holding Shift key down, drag and highlight b and c as well. | Holding the Shift key down, highlight all 3 segments. |
In Graphics view, click on Hidden option. | In Graphics view, click on Hidden option. |
Point to the segments in Graphics view. | All three labels are hidden. |
Switching x axis to radians | Now let us change x Axis units to radians. |
Double click on x axis in Graphics view >> Object properties. | Double click on x axis in Graphics view then on Object Properties. |
Click on Preferences-Graphics >> x axis. | In the Object Properties menu, click on Preferences-Graphics then on x Axis. |
Check the Distance option, select π/2 >> select Ticks first option. | Check the Distance option, select pi over 2.
Select the Ticks first option. |
Close the Preferences box. | Close the Preferences box. |
Point to x-axis. | Units of x-axis are in radians with the intervals shown.
GeoGebra will convert degrees of angle alpha α to radians. |
Let us summarize. | |
