Spaghetti trig
Introduction-
For our end of the year applied problem and for more work with the basics of trignometry the algebra two class completed the spaghetti trig applied problem. We were split into teams of two and were tasked with using spaghetti noodles for a value of one radian. My team started by drawing the unit circle and marked every fifteen degrees we then used the noodles to measure the sin cos off the unit circle we then graphed the sin and cos waves. to finish we used a picture of a tan wave and added that to the graphs we already had produces below is a picture the three waves mentioned here
Skills-
Justification-
For this applied problem I feel I have solidified my basic trig knowledge and have used the sills listed above to complete the spaghetti trig problem.
