Applied Trigonometry: From Theory to Practice
Text Lesson
What is Trigonometry?
Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between angles and sides of triangles, widely used in navigation, architecture, astronomy, and physics. It helps solve real-world problems such as measuring distances, designing structures, and analyzing wave patterns. Key concepts include angles (degrees & radians), trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent), right vs. non-right triangles, and the unit circle. Understanding these fundamentals provides a strong foundation for applying trigonometry in practical scenarios.
