If, by trigonometry theorem you mean the "fundamental theorem of trigonometry," sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, it is actually the Pythagorean Theorem. if you have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of one, sin(x) is one leg, and cos(x) is the other. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2 and therefore sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1.

Where did the word trigonometry originate from?
From Greek.Trigon comes from 3-sided figure, now known as a triangle. Metry comes from measurement.
What does the formula for Pythagoras Theorem mean?
It means there is a fixed relationship between the three sides of a right angled triangle. If you know the length of two of the sides then the third can be calculated. It has other implications in geometry and trigonometry also.
What jobs use trigonometry?
there many jobs that have to uses trigonometrysuch as a carpentry , law and order these jobs have to use trigonometry because for carpentry if you don't use it then you might as well not use it any ways and you Can also use it to impress the boss you know mabye get a little raise in your money but really when you are cutting out an angle you have to use trigonometry, also architecture uses trigonometry so they can figure out how to build the complex shapes that modern buildings require
What is .8660 in trigonometry?

What is a Trapezia?
It's similar to Pythagoras Theorem and Trigonometry.
What maths was involved in the pyramids?
Trigonometry and the Pythagoras theorem were used in the pyramids.
How do you find the slant height of a cone using trigonometry?
Use Pythagoras' theorem
What are the different application of trigonometry?
Trigonometry is used to find the properties of triangles and Pythagoras' theorem is used to find the lengths and angles of right angle triangles.
What are three situations in which right triangles are used?
Pythagoras' theorem Trigonometry Pythagorean triples
Who is father of trigonometry?
Trigonometry has been developed over centuries, and was not discovered per-se by any one person. One might say that Pythagoras is the father of trigonometry because the Pythagorean theorem is so central to trigonometric theory, but many cultures were aware of the Pythagorean theorem before Pythagoras was even born.
Why is trigonometry recommended?
It's good for robotics and computers. If you're good at trigonometry then you can figure out the navigation.
How do you calculate sides of a right angle triangle?
With Pythagoras' theorem or trigonometry depending on the information you are given.
How do you find the length of a pyramid when you know the height and slant height?
By using trigonometry or Pythagoras' theorem
Who are the famous mathematicians in trigonometry?
Pythagoras was the most pivotal mathematician in the area of trigonometry. His pythagoras theorem literally redefined the way people studied right angled triangles.
It is better to use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the other side lengths?
yes. you can use trigonometry but phytagoreans theorem is faster and easier
What did Pythagoras contribute to trigonometry?
One major contribution was that of the Pythagorean Theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
