INTRODUCTION• TRIGONOMETRY IS THE BRANCH OF MATHEMATICS THAT
DEALS WITH TRIANGLES PARTICULARLY RIGHT TRIANGLES. FOR ONE THING TRIGONOMETRY WORKS WITH ALL ANGLES AND NOT JUST TRIANGLES. THEY ARE BEHIND HOW SOUND AND LIGHT MOVE AND ARE ALSO INVOLVED IN OUR PERCEPTIONS OF BEAUTY AND OTHER FACETS ON HOW OUR MIND WORKS. SO TRIGONOMETRY TURNS OUT TO BE THE FUNDAMENTAL TO PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING
BASIC FUNDAMENTALS
• Angle of Elevation:• In the picture below,
an observer is standing at the top of a building is looking straight ahead (horizontal line). The observer must raise his eyes to see the airplane (slanting line). This is known as the angle of elevation.
• THE ANGLE BELOW HORIZONTAL THAT AN OBSERVER MUST LOOK TO SEE AN OBJECT THAT IS LOWER THAN THE OBSERVER. NOTE: THE ANGLE OF DEPRESSION IS CONGRUENT TO THE ANGLE OF ELEVATION (THIS ASSUMES THE OBJECT IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE OBSERVER SO THAT THE HORIZONTALS FOR THE OBSERVER AND THE OBJECT ARE EFFECTIVELY PARALLEL).

A TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTION IS A RATIO OF CERTAIN PARTS OF A TRIANGLE. THE NAMES OF THESE RATIOS ARE: THE SINE, COSINE, TANGENT, COSECANT, SECANT, COTANGENT.

GIVEN THE ASSIGNED LETTERS TO THE SIDES AND ANGLES, WE CAN
DETERMINE THE FOLLOWING TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS.
THE COSECANT IS THE INVERSION OF THE SINE, THE SECANT IS THE INVERSION OF THE COSINE, THE COTANGENT
IS THE INVERSION OF THE TANGENT.
WITH THIS, WE CAN FIND THE SINE OF THE VALUE OF ANGLE A BY DIVIDING SIDE A BY SIDE C. IN ORDER TO FIND THE ANGLE ITSELF, WE MUST TAKE THE SINE OF THE ANGLE AND INVERT IT (IN OTHER WORDS, FIND THE COSECANT OF THE SINE OF THE ANGLE).

Heights and Distances
In this situation , the distance or the heights can be founded by using mathematical techniques, which comes under a branch of ‘trigonometry’. The word ‘ trigonometry’ is derived from the Greek word ‘tri’ meaning three , ‘gon’ meaning sides and ‘metron’ meaning measures. Trigonometry is concerned with the relationship between the angles and sides of triangles. An understanding of these relationships enables unknown angles and sides to be calculated without recourse to direct measurement. Applications include finding heights/distances of objects.
Early Beginning uses of trigonometry for determining heights and distances
Trigonometry (Three-angle-measure)
THE GREAT PYRAMID (CHEOPS) AT GIZA, NEAR CAIRO, ONE OF THE 7 WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORD. (THE ONLY ONE STILL SURVIVING).THIS IS THE ONE OF THE EARLIEST USE OF TRIGONOMETRY. PEOPLE USE TRIGONOMETRY FOR DETERMINING HEIGHT OF THIS PYRAMID.

An early application of trigonometry was made by Thales on a visit to Egypt. He was surprised that no one could tell him the height of the 2000 year old Cheops pyramid. He used his knowledge of the relationship between the heights of objects and the length of their shadows to calculate the height for them. (This will later become the Tangent ratio.) Can you see what this relationship is, based on the drawings below?

Thales may not have used similar triangles directly to solve the problem but he knew that the ratio of the vertical to horizontal sides of each triangle was constant and unchanging for different heights of the sun. Can you use the measurements shown above to find the height of Cheops?

In this figure, the line AC drawn from the eye of the student to the top of the tower is called the line of sight. The person is looking at the top of the tower. The angle BAC, so formed by line of sight with horizontal is called angle of elevation.

Method of finding the heights or the distances
Let us refer to figure of tower again. If you want to find the height of the tower i.e. BC without actually measuring it, what information do you need ?
We would need to know the following: i. The distance AB which is the distance
between tower and the person .ii. The angle of elevation angle BAC .Assuming that the above two conditions are given then how can we determine the height of the height of the tower ? In ∆ABC, the side BC is the opposite side in relation to the known angle A. Now, which of the trigonometric ratios can we use ? Which one of them has the two values that we have and the one we need to determine ? Our search narrows down to using either tan A or cot A, as these ratios involve AB and BC. Therefore, tan A = BC/AB or cot A = AB/BC, which on solving would give us BC i.e., the height of the tower.

I see a bird flying at a constant speed of 1.7568 kmph in the sky. The angle of elevation is 600. After ½ a minute, I see the bird again and the angle of elevation is 450. The perpendicular distance of the bird from me, now will be(horizontal distance) ?
ANSWER : Let A be the initial position and B be the final position of the bird, <AED= 600 , <BED = 450
Let E be my position. Time required to cover distance from A to B=30 sec.
Speed of bird= 1.7568 × m/s
Distance travelled by bird in 30 sec. = 1.7568 × × 30 = 14.64 m
In right angled = Tan 600 . Thus, ED =

An airplane is flying at a height of 2 miles above the level ground. The angle of depression from the plane to the foot of a tree is 30°. Find the distance that the air plane must fly to be directly above the tree.
Step 1: Let ‘x’ be the distance the airplane must fly to be directly above the tree.Step 2: The level ground and the horizontal are parallel, so the alternate interior angles are equal in measure.Step 3: In triangle ABC, tan 30=AB/x.Step 4: x = 2 / tan 30Step 5: x = (2*31/2) Step 6: x = 3.464
So, the airplane must fly about 3.464 miles to be directly above the tree.

CONCLUSION

Trigonometry begins in the right triangle, but it doesn’t have to be restricted to triangles. The trigonometric functions carry the ideas of triangle trigonometry into a broader world of real-valued functions and wave forms. Trig functions are the relationships amongst various sides in right triangles.The enormous number of applications of trigonometry include astronomy, geography, optics, electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), pharmacy, seismology, land surveying, architecture.
I get it!
