Applications of Trigonometry

Applications of Trigonometry

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

   • if you have the value of one side and the angle of depression from the top of the building you can find and another side in the triangle

2. Trigonometry in video games

   • Gaming industry is all about IT and computers and hence Trigonometry is of equal importance for these engineers.

3. Trigonometry in construction

   • To calculate structural load, roof slopes, ground surfaces and many other aspects, including sun shading and light angles.

4. 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.

5. Trigonometry in physics

   • In physics, trigonometry is used to find the components of vectors, model the mechanics of waves, and oscillations

6. Trigonometry in criminology

   • In criminology, trigonometry can help to calculate a projectile’s trajectory, to estimate what might have caused a collision

7. It is used naval and aviation industries.

8. It is used in cartography (creation of maps)

9. Trigonometry has its applications in satellite systems.

10. It is used in oceanography in calculating the height of tides in oceans.
