Trigonometry is not some sort of stand-alone academic subject but an integral (!) part of Mathematics as a whole - a concept apparently missed by many 'Answers' questioners. Rather than single examples, Trig is just one of many mathematical techniques used in:

Harmonic Analysis (used in sound, vibration, oceanographic and electronic research to name 4 fields). Sonar and Radar signal generation, collection & analysis...... Astronomy: e.g. the Parsec used for measuring deep-space distances is a trig-based unit. ...
