Where is trigonometry used in our daily life?

Answer 1

When you climb a stair case you are going up the hypotenuse of a right triangle designed to give you a particular rise for a particular horizontal space available.

When you look at a clock the angle of the hands tell you the time.

Answer 2

I ask myself the same question when im in my maths lessons, some people with jobs in the design or architechture industry may use trigonometry often, but otherwise i can't think of places for use except like i said, when designing something or constructing a building, basically, it's one of those things that has no actual use in life for approximately 60% of the world population, the same could be said for algebra

Answer 3

Used by all people in daily life - not really anywhere. However the things you use on a daily basis (cars, buildings, bridges, video games) are designed by people who use trigonometry or tools based on it every day in their jobs.

Answer 4

There are an enormous number of applications of trigonometry. Of particular value is the technique of triangulation which is used in astronomy to measure the distance to nearby stars, in geography to measure distances between landmarks, and in satellite navigation systems. Other fields which make use of trigonometry include astronomy (and hence navigation, on the oceans, in aircraft, and in space), music theory, acoustics, optics, analysis of financial markets, electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), pharmacy, chemistry, number theory (and hence cryptology), seismology, meteorology, oceanography, many physical sciences, land surveying and geodesy, architecture, phonetics, economics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer graphics, cartography, crystallography.

Answer 5

Fields which make use of trigonometry or trigonometric functions include astronomy (especially, for locating the apparent positions of celestial objects, in which spherical trigonometry is essential) and hence navigation (on the oceans, in aircraft, and in space), music theory, acoustics, optics, analysis of financial markets, electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), pharmacy, chemistry, number theory (and hence cryptology), seismology, meteorology, oceanography, many physical sciences, land surveying and geodesy, architecture, phonetics, economics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer graphics, cartography, crystallography and game development.

Answer 6

Trigonometry is not used in daily life but it is used DAILY in many other fields like aviation. It is also used by sailors. But the mjor use as we all know is to determine the height of tall mountains and some buildings.

Answer 7

There are an enormous number of applications of trigonometry and trigonometric functions. For instance, the technique of triangulation is used in astronomy to measure the distance to nearby stars, in geography to measure distances between landmarks, and in satellite navigation systems. The sine and cosine functions are fundamental to the theory of periodic functions such as those that describe sound and light waves.

hope that resolved your question

Answer 8

Trigonometry has manyapplications in our daily life.It is used in calculations related to landing and taking off of aeroplanes,pathof submarines,astronomical calculations,measuring the height of mountains,measuring the depth of trenches etc. etc.etc....

Answer 10

Making maps, buildings, bridges. Designing aeroplanes, distributing electricity, making computers. There is no facet of modern life left where trigonometry has not entered.
