the various fields in which trigonometry is used are acoustics, architecture, astronomy (and hence navigation, on the oceans, in aircraft, and in space; in this connection, see great circle distance), biology, cartography, chemistry, civil engineering, computer graphics, geophysics, crystallography, economics (in particular in analysis of financial markets), electrical engineering, electronics, land surveying and geodesy, many physical sciences, mechanical engineering, machining, medical imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), meteorology, music theory, number theory (including cryptography), oceanography, optics, pharmacology, phonetics, probability theory, psychology, seismology, statistics, and visual perception, education.
Applications of Trigonometry in Real life

* Trigonometry is commonly used in finding the height of towers and mountains.

* It is used in navigation to find the distance of the shore from a point in the sea.

* It is used in oceanography in calculating the height of tides in oceans

* It is used in finding the distance between celestial bodies

* The sine and cosine functions are fundamental to the theory of periodic functions such as those that describe sound and light waves.

* Architects use trigonometry to calculate structural load, roof slopes, ground surfaces and many other aspects, including sun shading and light angles * The word trigonometry comes from the Greek words trigonon which means triangle and metron which means measure. Once we know the meaning, it's easy to understand some of the real life uses of trigonometry. One use of trigonometry is the calculation of the height of waves in the ocean. This information is of interest to oceanographers. It is also used to measure the distance between celestial bodies and is used in navigation to calculate the distance to the shore from a particular point in the ocean. Architects also use trigonometry to measure the slope of a roof and to properly
