Sine, Cosine, and Tangent
These are the primary trigonometric functions we use to understand and compute the angles and sides of right-angled triangles.
Introduction to Trigonometry
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that explores the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. It's essential for fields such as physics, engineering, and architecture.
Fascinating Facts:
- The word "trigonometry" comes from the Greek words trigonon (triangle) and metron (measure).
- The fundamental functions include sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan).
- Trigonometry is used by architects to calculate structural load, topography, and to create aesthetically pleasing designs.
