The word trigonometry comes from “trigonon” meaning triangle and “metry” meaning measurement. It is an area of math that studies the relationships between sides of triangles.. Ancient Egyptians have known theorems around similar triangles for ages and it is said that construction of pyramids use a form of trigonometry.
Trigonometry was historically used in astronomy and geography mostly for its navigation and wayward applications. The physics and engineering applications of trig are boundless. Just about every modern structure on the planet was developed and constructed using many of the root principles of trigonometry. Trig is the fundamental math used by astronomers to measure the distances between planets and stars. Architects use this form of math to design the plan for any home or building that they design. It ensures the strength of many modern structures. The geometric shapes that are displayed in most forms of architecture are constructed in that way to ensure maximum reliability of the structure, regardless of where you are located within it.
