Question

For my math assessment, I need to apply trigonometry in a real life situation and explain about it. I've been thinking of 1. trigonometry applied in cricket 2. music (sound waves)... but still not quite sure how to. If anyone has knowledge on how I could work on these or any other new ideas that would be relevant, PLEASE help me!!! Thank you!! <3​

Answer 1

I know you said relevant so i have two answers.

1) (not so relevant).

You could use it to show how NASA and astronomers use it to calculate the distance between planets and connect it to building rockets and all that cool stuff.

2) (relevant).

For the one about music, you could connect it to sound engineers and use sine and cosine graphs to calculate wavelengths

Answer 2

Answer: Answers below.

Step-by-step explanation: Suppose you want to find the best angle to kick a soccer ball so that it enters the goal. A triangle can be formed with angle ζ facing the goal. Increasing ζ or decreasing ζ will allow you to see the best angle that is the maximum amount of time that you should wait until scoring the ball.

Sine, Cosine, and Tangent waves are used everyday in phones, tablets, computers, and in quantam and normal technology by imitating and creating waves that can be sent to a destination.

You can use inverse trigonometric functions to find the height of a roof, the height of a tree, the height of a pole, and more.

Light waves are, in reality, sine and cosine waves intertwined together.

You can even use trigonometry every day in work places, such as in software engineering. In fact, calculus 1 and 2, as well as Multivariate Calculus, which heavily and fundamentally uses trigonometry, is used widely across computer science. These help you to get $100,000 jobs.
