Differentiation suggestions:

If students can’t get started….

Draw triangle ABC, and label the right angle. What information is “missing” from your triangle? How would you find that missing information?
What are your definitions of the trigonometric functions? For angle A, where is the opposite side? The adjacent side? The hypotenuse?

Extension suggestions:

If students finish early….

Are there other conjectures you can make about your right triangles? Can you prove these other conjectures?
