How are sound engineers and trigonometrical functions parallel?

I assume the question means "Do sound engineers make use of trigonometric functions?"
There are at least two ways that sound engineers might make use of trig functions.
The first way is directly. Speakers have limited angles of coverage. Also distances from speakers to various parts of the audience have to be known, as sound takes time to travel, and gets softer with greater distance. Since speakers are often up on tall towers, this is a 3D problem, and trigonometry may come into it.
More fundamentally, but more indirectly, sound can be considered as a sum of sine waves, each with its own frequency, amplitude and phase. The various pieces of equipment used by sound engineers affect the amplitudes and phases of the various components of the sound. Phase can be particularly troublesome: because of the limited angle of coverage of an individual speaker, multiple speakers have to be used, and in the places where their coverages overlap, differences in phase can cause bad effects. Sound engineers have to understand all this.

What kind of machinery do sound engineers normally deal with?
Sound Engineers (also known as Audio Engineers) work with equipment and machinery that specializes in recording and manipulating sound. Often, they work with amplifiers, monitors, speakers, mixing boards, microphones and audio lines.
What does a sound engineer do?
There are quite a few things that a sound engineer can do. These sound engineers have the ability to manipulate sounds.
What sound does a engine?
There are quite a few things that a sound engineer can do. These sound engineers have the ability to manipulate sounds.
How are sound engineers and audio engineers different?
Mixing is a part of audio engineering. Mixing occurs after the recording process and before the mastering process. Recording, mixing, and mastering engineers are all audio engineers because they all deal with audio.
Sound Engineers use trigonometry?
Trigonometry is used to define triangles, but it is also useful in the representation of waves. Sound engineers, obviously, use deal with sound waves. The pitch, volume, and direction of a sound wave are all deeply rooted in trigonometry.
Do sound waves oscillate parallel or perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels?
parallel
