The importance of Trigonometry in our lives and application

Trigonometry can be used to measure the height of a building or mountains:

Trigonometry in Video Games:
Have you ever played the game, Mario? When you see him so smoothly glide over the road blocks. He doesn’t really jump straight along the Y axis, it is a slightly curved path or a parabolic path that he takes to tackle the obstacles on his way. Trigonometry helps Mario jump over these obstacles. As you know Gaming industry is all about IT and computers and hence Trigonometry is of equal importance for these engineers.

Trigonometry in Construction:
In construction we need trigonometry to calculate the following: Measuring fields, lots and areas; Making walls parallel and perpendicular; Installing ceramic tiles; Roof inclination; The height of the building, the width length etc. and the many other such things where it becomes necessary to use trigonometry. Architects use trigonometry to calculate structural load, roof slopes, ground surfaces and many other aspects, including sun shading and light angles.

Trigonometry in Flight Engineering:
Flight engineers have to take in account their speed, distance, and direction along with the speed and direction of the wind. The wind plays an important role in how and when a plane will arrive where ever needed this is solved using vectors to create a triangle using trigonometry to solve. For example, if a plane is travelling at 234 mph, 45 degrees N of E, and there is a wind blowing due south at 20 mph. Trigonometry will help to solve for that third side of your triangle which will lead the plane in the right direction, the plane will actually travel with the force of wind added on to its course.

Trigonometry in Physics:
In physics, trigonometry is used to find the components of vectors, model the mechanics of waves (both physical and electromagnetic) and oscillations, sum the strength of fields, and use dot and cross products. Even in projectile motion you have a lot of application of trigonometry.

More Application

Trigonometry in Archealogy:

Trigonometry is used to divide up the excavation sites properly into equal areas of work. Archaeologists identify different tools used by the civilization, using trigonometry can help them in these excavate. They can also use it to measure the distance from underground water systems.


Trigonometry in Criminology:

In criminology, trigonometry can help to calculate a projectile’s trajectory, to estimate what might have caused a collision in a car accident or how did an object fall down from somewhere, or in which angle was a bullet shot etc.


Trigonometry in Marine Biology:

Marine biologists often use trigonometry to establish measurements. For example, to find out how light levels at different depths affect the ability of algae to photosynthesize. Trigonometry is used in finding the distance between celestial bodies. Also, marine biologists utilize mathematical models to measure and understand sea animals and their behaviour. Marine biologists may use trigonometry to determine the size of wild animals from a distance.
