There is no use for it in common daily life.

However--- Among the scientific fields that make use of trigonometry are these:

acoustics, architecture, astronomy (and hence navigation, on the oceans, in aircraft, and in space; in this connection, see great circle distance), biology, cartography, chemistry, civil engineering, computer graphics, geophysics, crystallography, economics (in particular in analysis of financial markets), electrical engineering, electronics, land surveying and geodesy, many physical sciences, mechanical engineering, medical imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), meteorology, music theory, number theory (and hence cryptography), oceanography, optics, pharmacology, phonetics, probability theory, psychology, seismology, statistics, and visual perception.

that depends on what you like to do and who you want to help.

Ex Triangles
All bridges in the modern world are built upon them. Because triangles are the most efficient
shape to disperse weight. Without them we couldn't transport heavy equipment, tool, etc., in the modern world efficiently. The less efficient the more costly things become. So I guess if 18 wheelers couldn't transport goods across the Brooklyn bridge efficiently that company who sells those goods would have to charge more because it would cost him/her more to make a profit. Then people like you and I would pay more.

Another ex. All electrical grids are formed in triangles, that's another example of energy disbursements.

Just cause you don't use it in daily life doesn't mean it isn't valuable.

When's the last time you used the skills you learned playing Grand Theft Auto in daily life? Or that combo of moves in Dead or Alive?

Just saying that there's meaning in things that go beyond the "daily life". If there weren't than life would be pretty damn boring.

I have used trig to determine the heights of trees on my property; to build a staircase from my basement to my first floor; to construct nice furniture; to survey my property lines; and other things.

But most of all, it is the thought process that was required to learn trig that has advanced me as a person.

(I also got a good job, because I knew trig).

when u r an engineer or an architect, u need trigo to make sure ur buildings will not topple.
if u r a geologist, u will need it to estimate the height of a mountain.
basically, trigo is needed to find long distances.

Aside from its application in kama sutra positions, trigo is pretty useless to laymen.

It will depend on the life you chose.
The life we chose somewhat depends on what we learn in school.
