Question 1165307: let S be the right triangle with sides of length 3,4, and 5 and let T be the right triangle with sides of length 6,7,and 1. suppose theta is the angle opposite the side of length 4 in S and p is the angle opposite the side of length 8 in T. Draw both of these triangles and compute sin of theta and sin of p. What do you notice? Why do you think this is true? Explain.
