Uses of trigonometry?
Trigonometry is used in measuring the height of waves, the distance between two celestial bodies and is used in navigation to calculate the distance to the shore from a particular point in the ocean..... also architects use trigonometry to measure the slope of roof.. And much more. the above is just 4 single examples of specific tasks whereas in fact it enters a huge range of fields. One such field in which trig, is an essential element, is that of electrical, sound and vibration studies and designs (the basic wave shape is a sine wave).
How much slope do you need for a drain pipe from a new bathroom and what do you do if there isn't enough slope?
One quarter inch per foot is standard "slope". This equates to a quarter bubble on a level. If you don't have at least one eighth of an inch "slope", your drain will not work properly and will clog constantly.
Can you have too much slope on a toilet drain line?
No. If you think about it, upstairs toilets actually drain through the walls and down under the foundation and footings, so you would have a 100% slope there. You can have too little slope, but never too much, since gravity is actually what drains a toilet. Yes you can. Pipes that run vertical are not a problem because friction is not acting on either the solid or the liquid matter. Where a pipe is sloping steeply the water can run away leaving solid matter behind.

How much fall in a toilet drain pipe?
From various sources I gathered that the minimum fall (slope) is 1cm fall over 1m distance. Converted that is 0.125 (1 eighth) inch fall over 1 foot distance.The maximum that should not be exceeded is 1cm fall over 20cm distance. Converted that is 0.25 (1 quarter) inch fall over 4 foot distance.
What should you do if your shower gurgles when the toilet is flushed and the toilet doesn't always work and you also get a drain pipe leak in your basement when too much water is used at the same time?
First thing you should do is call a plumber. Drain lines are not supposed to leak. Your drain line is clogged and needs to be snaked out and the leaking pipe repaired.
Is it due to the size of the toilet or just the bad installation if the water tank of the new toilet is about 2 inches away from the wall?
Probably it is due to the size of the toilet tank. If the toilet is a low flow, or under 2 gallons per flush, the tank will be considerably smaller than an older toilet tank, which might hold as much as 25 gallons. The only critical thing in istalling a toilet is if the drain pipe lines up with the drain opening. Unless you move the toilet drain, the new toilet is going to sit in the same place. If you have a gap between the wall and the tank, you might want to put a block of wood or something to help anchor the tank. Newer tanks are smaller due to the reduced water need with the current flushing technology.
