    What can you do with right-angled trig?

    1. What is the distance between the two points on the circles circumference

    2. In the circle below, someone made a neat spiral using right triangles. Can you figure out the total length of the spiral? The radius of the circle is 1 unit.

    3. A well-known trigonometric rule is . Can you use the triangle to figure out why this rule is true?

    4. What is the height, h, of the triangle ABC?

    What is the area of this triangle? Numbers are for beginners. Lets move on. Can you find a formula for the area of this triangle?

    Compare with at least three other pairs of students before you continue. The area can be written in different ways, and maybe your classmates will have found a different way than you did.

    Area =

    If we divide everything above with a, b, and c we get a rather elegant rule:

    The Sine Rule:
