As you may already know, trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationship between side lengths and angles of triangles. There are three main functions used in trigonometry: sine, cosine, tangent, which are usually labelled as sin, cos, tan respectively. Let’s review what each of the above functions do. In the non-right angle triangles we use Sine Law and Cosine Law to determine the side lengths and angles. Trigonometry is widely used in many aspects of our life, especially in construction, astronomy, physics, electronic music, flight engineering, marine engineering, navi ..read more

Have you ever wondered why the area of any shape is found by using a specific formula and where that formula comes from?
