Application in everyday life:

It may not have direct applications in solving practical issues but is used in various field. For
example, trigonometry is used in developing computer music: as you are familiar that sound
travels in the form of waves and this wave pattern, through a sine or cosine function for
developing computer music. Here are a few applications where trigonometry and its functions are
applicable.

Used in music:
Trigonometry is used in measuring the level or pitch of a sound wave or musical note. These
notes are measured in hertz. People can use panels in rooms such as studios and turn them
in different angles so that the music waves bounce off just right to make the song sound
smooth and eve

Applied in measuring height of mountains:

Trigonometry is used in measuring the height of a building or a mountain. The distance of a
building from the viewpoint and the elevation angle can easily determine the height of a building
using the trigonometric functions.

Trigonometry in Technology:
Trigonometry is not only used in everyday life but it Is also used in technology. It various
applications are as follows

Used in aviation:
Aviation technology has evolved with many up gradations in the last few years. It has taken into
account the speed, direction and distance as well as the speed and direction of the wind. The
wind plays a vital role in when and how a flight will travel. This equation can be solved by using
trigonometry.
For example, if an aeroplane is travelling at 250 miles per hour, 55° of the north of east and the
wind blowing due to south at 19 miles per hour. This calculation will be solved using the
trigonometry and find the third side of the triangle that will lead the aircraft in the right direction.
 Used in marine biology:
Trigonometry is often used by marine biologists for measurements to figure out the depth of
sunlight that affects algae to photosynthesis. Using the trigonometric function and mathematical
models, marine biologists estimate the size of larger animals like whales and also understand
their behaviours.

Used in construction:

In construction we need trigonometry to calculate the following:

 Measuring fields, lots and areas;

 Making walls parallel and perpendicular;
 Installing ceramic tiles;
 Roof inclination;
 The height of the building, the width length etc. and the many other such things
where it becomes necessary to use trigonometry.

Architects use trigonometry to calculate structural load, roof slopes, ground

surfaces and many other aspects, including sun shading and light angles.
