Physicists use trigonometry whenever two or more vectors (fields, forces, momentums, etc...) interact with one another. Trigonometry is especially useful in modeling waves an, which transfer energy in a manner consistant with trigonometric functions. The same is true with oscillatory motion (like a spring bouncing up and down) and electrical current, which often varies in its strength like a spring bouncing (this is AC current).

What is the relevance of trigonometry in criminology?

Trigonometry is used in many situations and jobs in life, including architects, surveyors, astronauts, physicists, engineers and even crime scene investigators. The latter use trigonometry for example to calculate a projectile's trajectory, to estimate what might have caused a collision in a car accident or how did an object fall down from somewhere (for example from a rooftop).
