Trigonometry

Trigonometry is a field of mathematics. It is the study of triangles. Trigonometry includes planar trigonometry, spherical trigonometry, finding unknown values in triangles, trigonometric functions, and trigonometric function graphs.

Where did the word trigonometry originate from?

From Greek.Trigon comes from 3-sided figure, now known as a triangle.

Metry comes from measurement.

The number of square units needed to cover a surface?

That depends on the surface and the units, but the surface area tells us that infomation.

How is trigonometry used in the job of an oceanographer?

First, they contact Darth Vador. When he arrives, they locate the secret banana together and attach a string to it. They throw it into the ocean, and use trigonometry to locate dolphins. Then the fly off into space, and defeat Luke Skywalker.

What are the Names of all trigonometry functions?

The basic functions are sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cotangent. In addition, there are their inverses, whose full names use the prefix "arc" [arcsine, arc cosine, etc] but are more often written as sin-1, cos-1 and so on.

Contributed to spherical trigonometry and navigation writing Wrote Treatise on a Sphere?

the person who did this was ben Franklin

I am trying to find the answers to this....and no the answer is not ben Franklin...sorry

I agree it is not ben Franklin...good try though

All kinds of triangles?

They are classified as: scalene, obtuse, right angle. equilateral and isosceles

How are greater than and less than signs mean?

They mean that the expression to the left of the sign is greater than or less than (as appropriate) the expression to the right of the sign.

Find the exact value of the expression sinarctan-12?

Assume the angle u takes place in Quadrant IV.

Let u = arctan(-12). Then, tan(u) = -12.

By the Pythagorean identity, we obtain:

sec(u) = √(1 + tan²(u))

= √(1 + (-12)²)

= √145

Since secant is the inverse of cosine, we have:

cos(u) = 1/√145

Therefore:

sin(u) = -√(1 - cos²(u))

= -√(1 - 1/145)

= -12/√145

Otherwise, if the angle takes place in Quadrant II, then sin(u) = 12/√145

How do trigonometry used in our daily life?

That depends on your profession. If you are a math teacher, then you might use a lot of Trig. If you are an engineer, working with forces on any object from different directions, then you would use trig. Electrical engineers use trig. Surveyors use trig.

Why do you need to study trigonometry?

Trigonometry is essential to the study of higher mathematics (calculus) and to the understanding of many scientific and engineering principles. Trigonometry and calculus can be used to model many shapes, motions, and functions in daily life.

A part of a cicrle?

A part of a circle's circumference is an arc

The two sides of a right triangle are of length 19 and 63 What is the measure of either of the acute angles in degrees?

Assuming that neither of the given sides is the hypotenuse, then if A is one of the acute angles, tan(A) = 19/63

So A = arctan(19/63) = 16.8 degrees. The other acute angle is 73.2 deg.

How do you measure a hypotenuse angle if you know the other two angles?

The hypotenuse is a side, not an angle. However, if you mean the angle across from the hypotenuse, it is always 90 degrees, or pi/2 radians because hypotenuses only exist in right triangles.

What is the value of theta?

'Theta' is the eighth character in the Greek alphabet. It is not often used as a mathematical constant (such as 'Pi'), but rather as a variable. It is commonly, but not always, used to represent some arbitrary angle.

What are characteristics of a right triangle?

Every triangle have 6 main parts: 3 sides and 3 angles. On a right triangle one of the angles has to be a right angle, meaning it has a 90 degree angle.

How does trigonometry help in building?

Surveying the land. Laying out the position of the foundation of the building.

How do you solve ungrouped data?

You cannot "solve" ungrouped data since ungrouped data is not a question. You can calculate the mean or the variance, standard deviation or skewness, or a whole range of other measures for ungrouped data. But you have not specified what.

What are the 6 trig functions for 0 degrees 90 degrees 180 degrees 270 degrees?

sin(0) = 0, sin(90) = 1, sin(180) = 0, sin (270) = -1

cos(0) = 1, cos(90) = 0, cos(180) = -1, cos (270) = 0

tan(0) = 0, tan (180) = 0.

cosec(90) = 1, cosec(270) = -1

sec(0) = 1, sec(180) = -1

cot(90)= 0, cot(270) = 0

The rest of them:

tan(90), tan (270)

cosec(0), cosec(180)

sec(90), sec(270)

cot(0), cot(180)

are not defined since they entail division by zero.

What is 5300 squared feet?

It is a measure of an area, approximately equal to 492 sq metres.
