Why use 360 degree in trigonometry?

The ancient Babylonians thought it a good idea. 360 is approximately equal to the number of days in a year - the time it takes the earth to go around the sun. Also, 360 is divisible by lots of numbers.

For advanced mathematics, you do not use 360 degrees but pi radians, anyway.
