What is the difference between calculus and trigonometry?
Calculus is the study of instantaneous and cumulitive growths of functions with respect to two or more variables. Trigonometry is the study of angles, specifically in triangles.
What grade do you learn trigonometry?
It depends. Between 9th to 12th.
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 is the difference between angles of trigonometry and angles of geometry?
In geometry, angles are studied mostly in relation to each other. In Trigonometry, angles are studied in relation to side lengths and triangles.
How do you use trigonometry?
Various trigonometric functions, such as sine or cosine, show the relationship between the lengths of sides of a triangle and the angles between those sides. So trigonometry is used to calculate angles, lengths and distances using right triangles. Right triangles are those that have one angle of exactly 90 degrees. Example: You want to find the height of a tree. Measure off a fixed distance from the tree and measure the angle between the ground and the line-of-sight to the top of the tree. The height of the tree = the distance to the tree times the tangent of the angle between the tree and the ground, ie tan(x).
