Interactive Trigonometric Ratios Visualization

Welcome to the Trigonometric Ratios Explorer

This interactive visualization helps you understand trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent, and their reciprocals) through both the unit circle and right triangle perspectives. Explore how these ratios change as the angle varies.

What you can explore:

  • Unit Circle View - See how sin(θ) and cos(θ) relate to coordinates on the unit circle
  • Right Triangle View - Understand ratios as opposite/hypotenuse, adjacent/hypotenuse, and opposite/adjacent
  • All Six Ratios - Sine, cosine, tangent, and their reciprocals (cosecant, secant, cotangent)
  • Quadrant Information - See which quadrant the angle is in and sign of each ratio
  • Reference Angles - Understand how angles relate to their acute reference angles

How to Use This Visualization

Interactive Features:

  • Adjust Angle - Use the slider to change the angle from 0° to 360°
  • Switch Views - Toggle between Unit Circle and Right Triangle visualizations
  • Toggle Labels - Show/hide ratio labels and side names
  • View Ratios - See all six trigonometric ratios with their values
  • Quadrant Info - Display quadrant information and sign analysis

What You'll See:

  • Unit Circle - Circle with radius 1 showing sin(θ) and cos(θ) as coordinates
  • Right Triangle - Triangle showing opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse sides
  • Cosine Line (red) - Horizontal distance from center (x-coordinate)
  • Sine Line (amber) - Vertical distance from center (y-coordinate)
  • Angle Arc (purple) - Visual representation of the angle
  • Ratio Values - Real-time calculation of all trigonometric ratios

Key Concepts

Unit Circle: On a unit circle, cos(θ) is the x-coordinate and sin(θ) is the y-coordinate of the point where the terminal side intersects the circle.

Right Triangle: In a right triangle, sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse, cos(θ) = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent.

Signs: In Q1: all positive, Q2: sin positive, Q3: tan positive, Q4: cos positive (SOH-CAH-TOA mnemonic: All-Sin-Tan-Cos).

Trigonometric Ratios Definitions

Primary Ratios:

  • sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse
  • cos(θ) = adjacent/hypotenuse
  • tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent

Reciprocal Ratios:

  • csc(θ) = 1/sin(θ)
  • sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ)
  • cot(θ) = 1/tan(θ)
