Trigonometry helps us find angles and distances, is used a lot in science, engineering, video games, and more! The triangle of most interest is the right-angled triangle. The right angle is shown by the little box in the corner: Another angle is often labeled θ, and the three sides are then called: Why a Right-Angled Triangle?
Trigonometry (from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon) 'triangle' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with relationships between angles and side lengths of triangles.
Trigonometry, the branch of mathematics concerned with specific functions of angles. There are six functions commonly used in trigonometry: sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), secant (sec), and cosecant (csc).
The study of angles and of the angular relationships of planar and three-dimensional figures is known as trigonometry. The trigonometric functions (also called the circular functions) comprising trigonometry are the cosecant , cosine , cotangent , secant , sine , and tangent .
