Just type "applications of trigonometry" on Google.
A few uses:
- In navigation to find the distance of the shore from a point in the sea;
- In finding the height of towers and mountains;
- In oceanography in calculating the height of tides in oceans;
- In finding the distance between celestial bodies;
- The sine and cosine functions are fundamental to the theory of periodic functions such as those that describe sound and light waves.
Architects use trigonometry to calculate ground surfaces, structural load, roof slopes and many other aspects, including sun shading and light angles.
