Satellite dishes are paraboloid in shape - that is, a parabola (a quadratic curve) rotated around its axis.
The shape has the property that rays entering it are reflected to its focus of the paraboloid. If the receiver is placed at that point, the signal is picked up from the broadcasting satellite over a wide field of view.

That means the same as solutions of other types of equations: a number that, when you replace the variable by that number, will make the equation true.Note that many trigonometric equations have infinitely many solutions. This is a result of the trigonometric functions being periodic.
Scientific fields that make use of trigonometry include: acoustics, architecture, astronomy , cartography, civil engineering, geophysics, crystallography, electrical engineering, electronics, land surveying and geodesy, many physical sciences, mechanical engineering, machining, medical imaging , number theory, oceanography, optics, pharmacology, probability theory, seismology, statistics, and visual perception. Various types of equations can be solved using trigonometry. For example, a linear difference equation or differential equation with constant coefficients has solutions expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of its characteristic equation; if some of the eigenvalues are complex, the complex terms can be replaced by trigonometric functions of real terms, showing that the dynamic variable exhibits oscillations. Similarly, cubic equations with three real solutions have an algebraic solution that is unhelpful in that it contains cube roots of complex numbers; again an alternative solution exists in terms of trigonometric functions of real terms.
You cannot make someone feel something they don't as well as make someone something they are not.
