civil engineers have special heavy duty boots called engineers boots.
these boots are quite expensive
so they use trigonometry to save money
they can stand on one side of a river set up 2 points a known distance apart
and just sight across the river thru a protractor with a telescope to the other side at any target they see
this way they dont need to carry a tape across the river to measure the distance
their boots would get wet and muddy
when they do this for a few years they save enough money to hire a rodman
to cross the river and place high visibility targets for them so they make less mistakes and make even more money

What do engineers use trigonometry for?
Engineers use trigonometry anywhere that involves non-right angles. That includes building cars and buildings, bridges, and many other structures. they also use trigonometry when dealing with fields, like magnetic and electric fields. Also, trigonometry is very important with engineers who deal with waves, such as sound or light engineers.
What occupations use trigonometry?
Many kinds of engineers, navigator, surveyor, architect, air traffic controller, cartographer and many more.
How do civil engineers use polygons in their work?
Civil engineers use polygons in their blueprints. Blue prints are used to erect huge buildings and houses. Polygons are used to define different types of architecture that the business or homeowner requested.
Do architects use trigonometry?
yes they do
Do astronomers use trigonometry?
Yes
