Algorithm for rational determination of the area of a triangle for the development of students' creative thinking and practical application. Properties of the 90 Degrees angle tangent
The article presents the formulas derived by the author for determining the area of a triangle by a side and two adjacent angles. These for - mulas are used to activate the educational process — students in practice figure out how to rationally determine the area of land plots, buildings, draw up and solve trigonometric equations, prove the properties of the tangent of an angle equal to 90 degrees, correct the graph of the function y = tg x. To carry out calculations of the areas of triangles, to prove the properties of 90 degree angle tangent, to solve trigonometric equations, programs are written in the Visual Basic For Application language in Microsoft Word. Using the binary-decimal system and VBA programs in Word, the value of the tangent of an angle is calculated so close to an angle of 90 degrees that this value can be roughly taken as the 90 degrees angle tangent. The study of this material at informatics lessons contributes to the development of creative thinking of students, increasing their motivation to study informatics and information technology.
