An Indian chief had three wives, each of whom was pregnant. The first gave birth to a boy. The chief was so elated he built her a teepee made of deer hide. A few days later, the second gave birth, also to a boy. The chief was very happy. He built her a teepee made of antelope hide. The third wife gave birth a few days later, but the chief kept the details a secret. He built this one a two story teepee, made out of a hippopotamus hide. The chief then challenged the tribe to guess what had occurred.
Many tried, unsuccessfully. Finally, one young brave declared that the third wife had given birth to twin boys.
"Correct," said the chief. "How did you figure it out?"
The warrior answered, "It's elementary. The value of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides."

i take advantage of trig in each day existence after I play the piano. Trigonometry helps us to sort wavelengths. A piano provides off sound through starting to be diverse wavelengths and frequencies of notes. you possibly can use trig to sort the resonance of two keyes that are very on the brink of one yet another. An digital keyboard is sweet for witnessing this elementary phenomena. it really is real, besides the undeniable fact that it is also a finished b.s answer. savor.

It was... I worked at Ferrero Chocolates and you needed to use trigonometry everyday there to measure how many tic tac containers (for example) were in a big storage bin, based on the weight after being filled as opposed to BEFORE it was filled.
Incredibly boring I know, but you asked

I can't say it's part of most people's everyday life. You need it to get through college depending on your major; depends on what your career is :)

Yes. There are shapes everywhere, which means angles and sides and cosines and supplements and so on....

not really. They are all around us, wherever you look but unlike arithmetic, you don't need them to survive!
