To find the distances between two distant objects without the use of trigonometry?
It depends on the objects, how far apart they are and whether or not one can be seen from the other. If they are moderately far apart, echo location (sonar or radar) located at one of the objects can be used. A beam of radio or sound waves is aimed at the object and the time taken to receive an echo is measured. Since the speed of radio waves or sound waves in the relevant medium is known, the distance travelled by these waves can be calculated. The distance to the object is then half the calculated distance (the waves have to go there and come back).

How is trigonometry used in a cartographer?
Ah, trigonometry is like a gentle breeze guiding a cartographer's hand as they map out the world. By using trigonometric functions like sine and cosine, cartographers can calculate distances, angles, and shapes on maps with great precision. It's a beautiful dance between numbers and art that helps us navigate and appreciate the vast beauty of our planet.
What are vertices 1st grade math?
EdgesGeometric vertices are the corners of mathematical objects such as cubes.In trigonometry, vertices are the corners of an angle.
The locus of points idea allows you to define objects in terms of points and given distances?
true
The locus of points idea allows one to define geometric objects using only the ability to determine if two distances are equal or not?
true
Group similar objects?
True. In geometry it is sometimes helpful to group objects and look at similarities between them.
