Trigonometry | Introduction to trigonometryAs you see‚ the word itself refers to three angles - a reference to triangles. Trigonometry is primarily a branch of mathematics that deals with triangles‚ mostly right triangles. In particular the ratios and relationships between the triangle’s sides and angles. It has two main ways of being used: 1. In geometryIn its geometry application‚ it is mainly used to solve triangles‚ usually right triangles. That is‚ given some angles and side lengths‚

Trigonometry is… i) A ration shows approximate sizes of two or more values. Ratios can be shown in different ways. For example 1:3 (one to three)‚ ¼ (one fourth). ii) * Sine (θ) = Opposite x Hypotunese-1 * Cosine (θ) = Adjacent x Hypotunese-1 * Tangent (θ) = Opposite x Adjacent -1 iii) You can remember this equations throughout a word SohCahToa Trigonometry came from… i) The term “trigonometry‚” although not of native Greek origin‚ comes from the Greek word trigonon

Trigonometry is a field of mathematics first compiled by 2nd century BCE. Greek mathematician Hipparchus. The history of trigonometry and of trigonometric functions follows the general lines of the history of mathematics. Early study of triangles can be traced to the 2nd millennium BC‚ in Egyptian mathematics (Rhind Mathematical Papyrus) and Babylonian mathematics. Systematic study of trigonometric functions begins in Hellenistic mathematics‚ reaching India as part of Hellenistic astronomy. In Indian

ancient Nubians used a similar methodology.[5] The ancient Greeks transformed trigonometry into an ordered science.[6] Classical Greek mathematicians (such as Euclid and Archimedes) studied the properties of chords and inscribed angles in circles‚ and proved theorems that are equivalent to modern trigonometric formulae‚ although they presented them geometrically rather than algebraically. Claudius Ptolemy expanded upon Hipparchus’ Chords in a Circle in his Almagest.[7] The modern sine function was first

In the times of the greeks‚ trigonometry and geometry were important mathematical principles used in building‚ agriculture and education. The Babylonians could measure angles‚ and are believed to have invented the division of the cirle into 360º.[1] However‚ it was the Greeks who are seen as the original pioneers of trigonometry. A Greek mathematician‚ Euclid‚ who

“Fathering” Trigonometry Life is full of beginnings. From budding flowers to newborn babies. Everything on this beautiful earth has a start to a miraculous journey. When I began thinking about this assignment I thought of my 3 year old little brother and how when he entered this world in 2013 it changed my life. This branched my mind off into the beginning of not only Mathematics but Trigonometry which is why I chose the following topic. Trigonometry was “fathered” by Hipparchus of Nicea an ancient

Sebastian Trigonometry and astronomy Trigonometry is used everywhere in our lives‚ since the beginning of development in our civilisations‚ people have been researching about the three lengths that have mystified for centuries. Trigonometry can almost be seen everywhere. First of all though we need to know its international definition‚ trigonometry is a study of triangles and its sides and angles‚ the hypotenuse‚ the adjacent side and the opposite side. Trigonometry also has its different functions

Various jobs utilize trigonometry on a daily basis. When people speak of jobs that use trigonometry‚ they think of the most ideal or stereotyped jobs such as: aerospace engineers‚ architects‚ and construction workers. However‚ there are many more applications of trigonometry than one may think. One of these “obscure” jobs is optometry. Optometrists‚ the main providers of vision care‚ use trigonometry almost everyday. Specifically‚ trigonometry is commonly used in the form of fitting glasses to someone’s

Intro: Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between their sides and the angles between these sides. The field evolved during the third century BC as a branch of geometry used extensively for astronomical studies. It is also the foundation of the practical art of surveying. Trigonometry basics are often taught in school either as a separate course or as part of a precalculus course. Fields that use trigonometry or trigonometric functions include
