15. ο΅Eratosthenes measured the Sunβs angle at two
places in Egypt and used trigonometry to
calculate the Earthβs radius.
16. ο΅ The heights of the Himalayas were found due to
trigonometry. It is not possible for anyone to measure
the heights of an entire mountain range, in an age
when calculators simply did not exist.
The triangle is one of the most common shapes in nature. You see them almost everywhere that sometimes, you do not notice them anymore.
Thre triangle is not only beautiful shape. It has many practical applications in different fields such as in engineering, art, architefcture, astronomy and navigation. Many of these applications make use of the so-called trigonometric ratios. In this topic, you will learn the meanings of these ratios, and use them to solce practical problems.
Imagine that you, the happy face, are
standing at angle A facing into the
triangle.
The hypotenuse is neither opposite or adjacent.
You would be facing the opposite
side
and standing next to the adjacent
side.
Now, imagine that you move from angle
A to angle B still facing into the triangle.
Imagine that you, the happy face, are
standing at angle A facing into the
triangle.
The hypotenuse is neither opposite or adjacent.
You would be facing the opposite
side
and standing next to the adjacent
side.
You would be facing the opposite
side
and standing next to the adjacent
side.

Sine, Cosine and tangent ratios are the most common.
Hereβs a way to remember how to make the 3 basic trigonometric ratios.
The first thing is to identify the Opposite and and Adjacent sides

Trigonometry allows you to convert one length to another if you know the angle between them. With trigonometry and a tool called a clinometer you can measure the height of tall objects youβd never be able to measure directly.
