use Gavid and Goliath, using the angle of elevation where you will find out what is the right angle that David will use to hit Goliath on the head.
and also the North Star.. when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. you can use it for angles of depression and elevation.
and also When Zacchaeus climbed up the Sycamore the tree , the Lord he wanted to see.
The When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and they took the city.walls of Jericho also.. you can use radians there,
..well I hope this helps :P

You bet: Exodus, Chapters 36-38, building the Tabernacle. Filled with words like sockets, tenons, joints, and plenty of description of how boards and other material were placed that connote angles, circles, radians. Check it out.

Just substitute "angle" for "angel" and you're away?
Why the hell are you trying to use the Bible to teach trig? Why not use a trig text book? It's a little like trying to use your washing machine manual to find out what's on TV tonight, no?

For the sake of it tell them when the sea was split it made pi/2 radians with the earth and made right angled triangles...

Not sure if this would help but maybe the story of Noah's ark when God tells him the measurements.....
