Cool - do you have a question?

 

[Lasand]

I don't think this has been shown before. This is the closest example I could find.

Fine - do you have a question?

 

[Lasand]

No further questions. I found it interesting that when the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is set to 1, it can be so useful when the sides as variable proportions are labeled differently.

No further questions.

Indeed - there have been no questions at all so far.

The deeper concept is that of using a unit circle as a reference object in geometry.
It's why we use "radians" for angles, for example. I don't know what you think has not been shown before.

You also get a lot of useful stuff from putting the adjacent side equal to 1.
