Trigonometry is the study of angles ond lengths. If you know one angle and one side length of a right traingle, you can find all the other values. If you know your distance from a tall object, and the angle made by the base of the tall object, your feet, and the top of the object, you can find the height of the object.
Mechanics use trigonometry to find angles mostly used in body or chassis work.
Obviously, the pyramids have a lot to do with triangles. To find the hight, length, width, volume, angle of ascent, and surface area of the pyramids, the egyptians had to use trigonometry.
In construction, Trigonometry is used to show how stress and force are directed along supports which are not vertical or horizontal. It is alos used to find the lengths of such components of a building, as well as the angles between parts.
If you know two sides of a triangle, trig lets you find the third. So if you want to know the distance across a lake, measure two lines along the side of the lake such that they form a triangle with the line across the lake, and you can find the distance across. You can also find one side if you know one side and the angles at either end. This can be used to find the heights of objects - you know the angle it makes to the ground, how far you are from it, and what angle you have to look at to see the top.
The amplitude of a sine (or cosine) curve is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the curve, measured over a whole cycle.
you can use it to find heights of trees or buildings and stuff. It is good for distances too.
Trigonometry can be used to find the heights of buildings when paired with a sextant (a device for measuring angles from the buliding)
Geometry is used to find the widths of rivers and the heights of towers,buildings,trees etc,it is also used to know the widths of pathway.
You need to go to the city of Calgary website (www.Calgary.ca) then you can find building heights listed under the bylaws section.
I find it very interesting.
The length of what?
on trees and sometimes even on poo,leaves and dark holes
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.
Mechanics use trigonometry to find angles mostly used in body or chassis work.
