How does trigonometry apply to life

As we have studied that the trigonometry defines the relationship between sides and angles of a triangle. Thus, if we consider that building or mountain as the perpendicular and the base of the building is on the plane road. Now, this building or mountain baseline is considered as the base of the triangle. At last, the line of sight is considered as the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle.

Then, this situation is considered as the application of a right-angled triangle. Hence we can use the trigonometric function as sine, cosine, tangent, etc to find the height and distance of the building or mountain.

Therefore, the measurement of the height and distance of the mountain or building is the real-life application of trigonometry. As we know that when a flight r an airplane is flying in the sky then it is more affected by the wind. Thus, wind plays an important role in aviation technology. The wind of flight direction is considered as the two perpendicular sides of a right-angled triangle in which the speed of wind and speed of the flight is measured in their direction.

Thus, by using the definition of trigonometrical ratios, we can easily calculate the direction of the destination. Therefore, flight engineering is the real-life application of trigonometry. To investigate a crime, we need to identify the causes of any accidents, how the objects fall or what the angle is shot by the gun. All of these crimes are related to the angles and sides of the trajectory or triangle.

Hence, this criminology is also considered as the real-life application of trigonometry. In marine biology, the biologist studies the marine life, that means it is the education of plants, animals and other organism that lives in the saltwater in the sea. Thus, marine life means sea life or ocean life. Now, when biologist studies about marine life it always observes the animals and another organism etc in the water and their behavior, depth from water level, etc.

All the sunlight and photosynthesis effects are studied. Now, to measure the depth of the animal from the water level, it is considered as perpendicular to the right-angled triangle and sea level is considered as base of the right-angled triangle.

News from Mathnasium of Pflugerville Real life applications of trigonometry Oct 16, Trigonometry is a very different subject than most of the math we encounter in our lives previously, and it takes a different way of thinking to understand.

For that reason, many people just want to get it over with when trig comes up in school. Starting from the basics, Can trigonometry be used in everyday life? Trigonometry can be used to measure the height of a building or mountains: if you know the distance from where you observe the building and the angle of elevation you can easily find the height of the building. Trigonometry in video games: Have you ever played the game, Mario?

Trigonometry in construction: In construction we need trigonometry to calculate the following: Measuring fields, lots and areas; Making walls parallel and perpendicular; Installing ceramic tiles; Roof inclination; The height of the building, the width length etc. Trigonometry in flight engineering: Flight engineers have to take in account their speed, distance, and direction along with the speed and direction of the wind.

Trigonometry in physics: In physics, trigonometry is used to find the components of vectors, model the mechanics of waves both physical and electromagnetic and oscillations, sum the strength of fields, and use dot and cross products. Do archaeologists use trigonometry? Trigonometry in marine biology; Marine biologists often use trigonometry to establish measurements.

Trigonometry in marine engineering: In marine engineering trigonometry is used to build and navigate marine vessels. Trigonometry used in navigation: Trigonometry is used to set directions such as the north south east west, it tells you what direction to take with the compass to get on a straight direction. Other uses of trigonometry: It is used in oceanography in calculating the height of tides in oceans. The sine and cosine functions are fundamental to the theory of periodic functions, those that describe the sound and light waves.

Calculus is made up of Trigonometry and Algebra. Trigonometry can be used to roof a house, to make the roof inclined in the case of single individual bungalows and the height of the roof in buildings etc. It is used naval and aviation industries. It is used in cartography creation of maps.

Also trigonometry has its applications in satellite systems. Read Our Brochure. View Our Location. November 3, Pamela Davis. Great job Report a concern. October 14, Melissa Fuller. Very flexible and accommodating to our demanding daughter's confidence has really grown in the subject.

Report a concern. September 28, Cynthia Singleton. Aidan has learned so much, the staff of very accommodating to his needs Report a concern. September 4, We were worried that we were not seeing a good effect from the tutoring. But after school started we saw that it was awesome.

Our daughter who was struggling the year before is now excelling in math. Kudos Mathnasium. August 4, You guys are awesome! Kendal, Brian, and Matt are my daughter's favorites! July 27, Great program! Helped my children achieve. June 27, We had such a great experience with Mathnasium!

Kendall was amazing. She not only helped our daughter get caught up in pre-cal, but helped her excel in her class and feel confident! Was worth the investment for sure! June 14, Lanell Waley. Mathnasium is absolutely amazing. Our daughter is receiving excellent tutoring that is targeting her specific needs.

True intervention. She looks forward to her tutoring sessions. I can definitely see a difference in her confidence and math abilities. June 4, I like that the tutors always use positive reinforce and bring encouragement to my child.

I like that tutoring is at my child's pace and if a session needs to be further worked on she can get extra attention. April 29, Kendall and all tutors are great.

Mathnasium has significantly helped our children to better understand difficult concepts. April 26, Rafael Sanchez. April 9, We are so very pleased with Mathnasium and most especially Kendall. She has helped my daughter improve her pre-cal understanding, raise her grade considerably, and boost her confidence in math.

It has made a world of difference for us and we couldn't be more grateful! April 6, Flexible and approachable with the needs of our daughter on her education journey. We appreciate the partnership to achieve the best outcomes. April 1, I love the staff , the staff is very flexible and work well with my son Report a concern.

They were patient and very knowledgeable.

April 10, LaConya Robertson. Awesome team of mathematicians! March 29, Perfect Report a concern. Great Team and I love the Communication!!! March 23, Trigonometry finds a perfect partner in modern architecture. The beautifully curved surfaces in steel, stone and glass would be impossible if not for the immense potential of this science.

So how does this work actually. In fact the flat panels and straight planes in the building are but at an angle to one another and the illusion is that of a curved surface. Neat huh!

Digital imaging is another real life application of this marvelous science. Computer generation of complex imagery is made possible by the use of geometrical patterns that define the precise location and color of each of the infinite points on the image to be created. The image is made detailed and accurate by a technique referred to as triangulation.

The edges of the triangles that form the image make a wire frame of the object to be created and contribute to a realistic picture.

Several imaging technologies that apply the concepts of trigonometry find usage in medicine. The next time you go in for an advanced scanning procedure, be sure to check out how the sine and cosine functions you learn at school find a practical application is medical techniques such as CAT and MRI scanning, in detecting tumors and even in laser treatments.

Whoever said studying math has only an academic value! Need other reasons to know how formulae in trigonometry make life easier for you?
