But a quick search yielded:
http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~jgilbert/maths_site/applets/trigonometry/solving_s
imple_trigonometry_problems_.html
which uses an applet so you can change the shape of the triangle for
'Solving Simple Trigonometry Problems'.
This one looks interesting
http://www.amtsgym-sdbg.dk/as/AOL-SAT/SATURN.HTM
'In this exercise, students may - applying simple math - measure
a. Distance to Saturn.
b. Diameter of the planet and its ring system.
c. Mass of this huge gas-planet.' (using trig)
Also:

ometry.htm
and, it seems, there are many others ...
