System Requirement

Here I am using

Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04

GeoGebra 5.0.388.0-d

Show the GeoGebra window.

Point to unit circle and right triangle ACB'.

I have opened GeoGebra interface with a unit circle and a right triangle A C B prime.
Slide Number 5

Sine function

Sine of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

Angle B'AC = αº = βº

In triangle AB'C,

sin(α) = B'C/AB' = y(B')/radius

Here, sin(α) = y co-ordinate of point B'

Sine of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

Angle B prime A C is equal to alpha degrees and to beta degrees

In triangle A B prime C, sine alpha equals ratio of the lengths B prime C to A B prime.

This is also equal to ratio of y co-ordinate of B prime to radius.

Here, sine alpha is y co-ordinate of point B prime.

Click on Options menu >> select Rounding >> 3 Decimal Places. Click on Options menu.

Select Rounding and then 3 Decimal Places.

All the ratios will now have 3 decimal places.

Setting up the sine function
