Flight engineers need to calculate how they will get from one place to another. Sounds simple yet they have to take in account their speed, distance, and direction along with the speed and direction of wind. Wind plays an important role in how and when a plane will arrive where it is needed to. this dilemma is solved using vectors to create triangle using trig to solve. More study in the feild of physics and trig will provide more knowledge to this concept. Basically if there is a plane travels 234 mph, 45 degrees N of E, and there is a wind blowing due south at 20 mph. Trigonometry will help to solve for that third side of your triangle to solve where the plane will actually travel with the force of wind added on to its course.

Trigonometry is used to define triangles, but it is also useful in the representation of waves. Sound engineers, obviously, use deal with sound waves. The pitch, volume, and direction of a sound wave are all deeply rooted in trigonometry.
Trigonometry is used very extensively in engineering. It is used to break force vectors into components, allowing civil and construction engineers to see how stress is channeled throughout a building. It is used to model sound and light waves, which is a useful tool for acoustic and optic engineers. It is also used extensivly in electrical engineering to find the strengths of fields.
they us it in computer graphics
Engineers and Physicists use trigonometry, as well as people whose carrers involve acoustics, optics, and waves.
Trigonometry is used effectively in electronics.
