This article focuses on a simple trigonometric problem that generates a strange phenomenon when different methods are applied to tackling it. A series of problem-solving activities are discussed, so that students can be alerted that the precision of diagrams is important when solving geometric problems. In addition, the problem-solving plan was implemented in a high school and the results indicated that students are relatively weak in problem-solving abilities but they understand and appreciate the thinking process in different stages and steps of the activities.
