Trigonometry - Engaging Resources
Sine Law Investigation
This investigation asks students to measure sides and angles and then calculate the ratios in the Sine Law.
Students should notice that the angle side ratios are equal for the given triangle.
The Geogebra applet on Glen Reesor's page may then be used to see that the Sine Law is also valid for all triangles.
