Unit circle
The exhibit consists of sliders on the unit circle which, by manual adjustment, allow the relationships between the size of the side and the angles in a right triangle to be displayed.
The ability to grasp the concept of trigonometric functions in a single visual representation offers a significant advantage in education. The unit circle contains everything necessary for understanding or simply verifying these concepts. An adjustable point allows the selection of angles on a fixed circle, displaying the values of trigonometric functions along the 'x' and 'y' axes.
Every change in position within the defined paths of motion provides feedback in the form of altered visual representation of angles and numerical values. By manually adjusting the settings, various relationships between side lengths and angles in right triangle variations are illustrated.
The stable base is formed by a square board that connects the structural elements for controlled mechanical movement. Numerical information on the scales determines the movement or angle settings and displays the parameters of trigonometric functions. The recommended configuration for placing the exhibit is wall-mounted, though it can also be used on a tabletop.
Minimum dimensions of the composition including graphics are 120 × 90 cm, with a depth of approximately 4 cm. No electrical power is required. A clear graphic user manual with supporting text is included.
Topics: Geometry, Trigonometry, Periodic Functions
