What is trigonometry according to you? (do not use a source for this) WHat professions use trigonometry? Give an example of how it is used in their day to day job. (use a source for this. Everyone should not have the same source!)
I think trigonometry is math that has to do with shapes, such as triangles. It figures out angles and degrees to show how they all relate to one another.
Careers that use trigonometry can be carpenters, engineers, mechanics, and so on. It is mainly the jobs where building things and navigation is involved. Almost all professions use math in some way or another but the ones that tend to need more difficult math will be the technical jobs. Carpenters must use trigonometry whenever they make a cut that needs to be angled. All of the adjoining lines and measurements need to be figured out, which is what we are now learning in chapter 9.
Engineers build different objects. Every time there is an angle that needs to be figured out, they use trig.
The lists of careers go on, but math is applied to them in pretty much the same way. Although most of us think this class is pointless right now, I’m sure a few people will be glad they took it when they try to get a job where it is useful to them.
Honestly, the only thing I know about trigonometry is the trigonometric functions that we learned about in chapter 7 and 8. But if I had to guess, I’d say that trigonometry is the study of shapes and their relationships between their sides and angles.
Researching what professions use trigonometry on a daily basis, I found that trigonometry is the study of triangles! So that means, any type of profession that uses triangles will work with trigonometry. That would include any type of profession that uses navigation such as pilots and navigators. They would use trigonometry to figure distances traveled. Another field would be one that deals with alternating electric currents. That would be a computer engineer or technician for example. Also, any profession that uses calculus which consists of a very long list..
Along with these, trigonometry is even used in optics which is the study of vision or light propagation. Trigonometric relationships are used to design a proper layout for the multiple lenses used in it. Basically, trigonometry is used in any career in science, engineering, and mathematics. You will also need it if you are a carpenter, archeologist, or even an artist. It is hard to escape.
When i hear the word trigonometry, this first word that pops in my head is difficult but going passed that I think of shapes. I don't really know the exact definition, but from what we learned so far i have a feeling it is all about shapes, function, angles, degrees, and other things relating to each other.
Even though in high school we think; When will we ever need this? Well actually there are some careers well you will such as engineering, carpenters, architecture, chemistry, mathematician,carpenter, plumber, electrician, computer programmer, computer games developer, interior designer, chemist building contractor, acoustics engineer, wave scientist, theater lighting specialist, delivery company router, craftsman, telecommunications engineer, ect. Im sure that makes it understandable that pretty much any job involving technical work you will need this infortmation.
It is said: "electricians use basic arithmetic (mostly fractions) for finding measurements. i commonly use basic right angle trigonometry when bending conduit for finding correct angles and distance between bending points. a good knowledge of algebra and basic trig are important." So as you know when building anything you will need to know your math well.
In chapter 7 and 8 we learned trigonometric function. At first whenever I heard the word trigonometric I thought it was something that indicates that the problems are really complex and stuff. I learned in those two chapters they are the study of shapes and sides and angles.
Trigonometry is used in professions such as engineering, plumber, chemistry and etc. The jobs that use trigonometry are the ones that deal with shapes and chemicals and whenever they build stuff. Every professions use math in order to be successful and to manufacture right.
One of the professions that uses trigonometry:
Engineers use trigonometry everyone that doesn’t deal with non-right angles. Examples are like building cars and buildings, bridges, and many kinds of structures. They use it when they deal stuffs in the fields, like magnetic and electric fields. It is important when they deal with waves. Examples are sounds or light engineers.
Basically any professions that use shapes and stuff use trigonometry. When they find the distance of anything it is basically involving trigonometry math. I learned that a lot of professions in life uses math a lot when they are trying to solve something that is complex and stuff. Trigonometry which is a different kind of math is use in professions in everyday bases to solve shapes and angles or even to do some experiment stuff with shapes and angles and sides.
When I think of trigonometry I think of extremely hard math. I do not know the exact meaning of trigonometry but I think it has something to do with shapes. I think of triangles, degrees, angles and other functions. Trigonometry is similar to some of the stuff we are doing in advanced math. I think you told us once that advanced math is the study of trigonometry.
Trigonometry involves many jobs in today’s world. Architecture, engineering, carpenter, plumber, electrician, computer programmer, graphics designer, drafter, lawn care specialist, computer, technical translator, choreographer, artist. and web site designer are just a few to name. Carpenters use trigonometry to make an angled cut. They must figure out the measurement and the adjoining lines of a triangle. Electricians use basic arithmetic to find measurements. They mostly use fractions. Engineers use trigonometry to build structures/systems, solve scientific problems and design bridges.
When I hear the word trigonometry I immediately think about math. Of course trigonometry is not just simple math, it goes way beyond it. It has to do with degrees, angles, and other hard things.
I would say a carpenter for sure. A carpenter would have to do measurements with different angles and have to measure the exact degrees for a project their doing. Every time a carpenter makes an angled cut, the measurement of the angle or the adjoining lines must be figured out. An architecture guy would have to use trigonometry to make brilliant designs.
This may sound funny but im thinking trigonometry might be used on a tv set. How else will they know everything is angled and set up correctly for their show?
All I know about trigonometry is that it is super hard and it has to do good in it you need a lot of memorization. It has a lot to do with shapes.
Trigonometry is the study of trigons (triangles in Latin) and it was invented to study the locations and the movements of the stars and our close by planets some of which were thought to rotated around the earth in giant circular / spherical orbits while some others were thought to be fixed on giant spheres with the earth at the center. Thus, tables of "chords of a circle" were compiled at least a century BC for the study of locations and movements of these heavenly bodies. The invention found uses also for navigation at sea. Astrology too benefited from the new trigonometric knowledge for it helped explain alignments of the stars (but perhaps not so much the fortunes of the people
When the word trigonometry pops into my mind i instantly think of advanced math problems. To me, from what i have learned so far, i feel that trigonometry ties in a lot with geometry and has alot to do with different shapes. We often use coordinate planes in trigonometry along with a lot of triangles! Oh, and i think of ACT; there is a lotttt of trigonometry on the ACT.
Trigonometry may be used if you were an appraiser or surveyer to check the lengths and measurements of the property you are trying to sell without having to manually measure each angle. Another would be a navigator or route planer, like for an airline, cruise line, ships, or a company to make global satelites on land or sea (envolving a circle, like the earth). A chemist also may need to use trigonometry to bound chemicals just like a particle physicist. Any career using robotics, may need to explore the angles of the machines and how to make them work. Also software, televisoin, and computer game creators.
I think triginometry is the study of triangles. It entails learning how the inner angles pertain to the sides.
You can use triginometry to do anything that will involve angles and triangles. Carpentry and construction benefit heavily from triginometry. I will also go out on a limb here and say that math teachers might want to know something about triginometry.
Seriously though, even though we complain about triginometry we will probably need it the rest of our lives.

Trigonometry to me is basically the study of triangles, the relationship between their sides and angles, and trigonometric the functions ( sine, cosine,tangent, and their inverses).
What professions use trigonometry ? Trigonometry is used in many every-day professions such as :engineering, Advanced Math teachers ;) , architects, Crime Scene Investigators, astronomers, physicist, astronauts, the men that guide the astronauts, carpenters, pilots, and computer game creators. Many everyday people like surveyors use trigonometry in their jobs everyday. Surveyors survey the land in order to create maps. It is very important that maps be drawn to scale. In order to ensure that these maps are drawn to scale a surveyor would use trigonometry to find exact distances as well as angles. Another way surveyors use trig is when measuring long distances , or heights of buildings. If a surveyor was looking for the area of a “triangular shaped” lake that was 15 feet deep he would use trigonometry to figure it out. He could simply use the formula A=1/bh to figure it out. He knows the depth of the lake so all he would need is the base of it, or the length of it and he would be able to solve the problem.
I think that trigonometry is something to do with shapes and stuff like that. It has something to do with the trigonomic function on the calculator. It helps figure out the measure of the sides of a triangle and the angles inside the triangles.
There are many jobs that use trigonometry like an architect, Crime Scene Investigators, anything to do with outer space. A carpenter, machinist, engineering, any job involving navigation like pilots, and computer game creators also use a lot of trigonometry. . Professions that use trigonometry are all types of engineering, machinist, tool and die maker and surveyors. More jobs that use trigonometry: “architecture, chemistry , plumber electrician, computer programmer, graphics designer, Web site designer graphic artist 3D animator interior designer landscape architect lawn care specialist, mason, chemist, technical translator, patent scientist, building spector, building contractor, sound engineer, acoustics, engineer, wave scientist, oceanographer, biologist choreographer theater lighting specialist taxi router delivery company router craftsman, metallurgical engineer, philosopher historian, artist, manufacturer, telecommunications engineer, packaging specialist” http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_jobs_involve_trigonometry http://www.chacha.com/question/what-profession-uses-trigonometry-the-most
I think that trig is the study of shapes and the laws of sins. I also think of Geometry because of the study of shapes and the law of sins.
Here are some profession that use trig, and the right triangle for their everyday jobs: management, farming, construction, and production are all jobs that use the right triangle and trig to solve problems on their job everyday. http://www.xpmath.com/careers/topicsresult.php?subjectID=3&topicID=10
Also this is just from the top of my head, I think that an architech or an engenieer is probably the one that uses the most trig, and right triangle to solve how to build things and which angle a wall of a building has to be set at. All of this ties into having to know what to do when working with trig in everday use.
If you are wondering why I am commenting so late on this it is because I forgot about it until just now, but at least I did it.
