Trigonometry

 Question 1

You can give detailed instructions

for utilizing sine, cosine, and
tangent to solve right-angled
triangles to illustrate how to use
trigonometric ratios. Examples from
the real world include identifying
the slope of a hill for construction or
navigation purposes, measuring the
height of a tall structure using the
angle of elevation, or calculating
distances using triangulation.

Determine the known side(s) and the angle(s) involved in order to locate
the missing side.
- Based on the information that is already known, select the suitable
trigonometric ratio.
- Rearrange the formula to find the solution for the ambiguous side.

In order to locate a missing angle, first determine the known side(s)

and angle(s) involved.
- Based on the information that is already known, select the suitable
trigonometric ratio.
- To find the unknown angle, use the inverse trigonometric function
sin(-1), cos(-1), or tan(-1).
 Question 2
The best angles for mounting solar
panels on a building's roof are
determined using trigonometric ratios.
Architects may determine the angles
that optimize the exposure of solar
panels to sunlight and ensure optimal
energy absorption by applying the sine,
cosine, and tangent functions. These
ratios provide builders the ability to
deploy solar panels as efficiently and
sustainably as possible.
