1. Trigonometry can be used to set directions such as the north, south, east, west. It is used on a compass, especially when you need to go in a certain direction. You can use trigonometry if you want to calculate a point in the ocean with a different point which can be the coastline or even another coordinate in the ocean. It's kind of like if you did a triangle with points/coordinates in the ocean.

Moreover, the use of tig can also help determine if the origin is from one or more sources. It’s also used for ballistic calculations determining the angle where it was shot, where it was bounced, the distance from shooter to target, and the shotman height. All this information are used in the department for the scientist to determine the cause of murder like if they pushed or if they accidentally killed themselves by falling.

3) I chose to see the use of trig in criminology since it remarked to me that it doesn’t nearly mark a triangle that you draw or visually see, but how geometric shapes are present in our surroundings can be used to understand our surroundings and why incidents occur. Moreover, while studying criminology is not my interest, it's a career that I deem fascinating.

Music is projected at many different angles, engineers use this knowledge to design rooms and soundproof. Knowing which ways the music will react. Another way that music uses trig is in production. They use many different computer programs in order to do this. The computer programs can allow a producer to see the sound waves that have been recorded as different types of graphs. These graphs are made using trig equations. The graphs allow the producers to visually see the pitch.

Trigonometry plays a major role in industry, I read it allows manufacturers to create everything from automobiles to zigzag scissors. Engineers in the industry rely on trigonometric relationships to determine the sizes and angles of mechanical parts used in machinery, tools and equipment. This math is a major role in automotive engineering, allowing car companies to size each part correctly and ensure they work safely together.

Engineers who must build large structures, which could be very hard to measure, they use trigonometric functions instead which could help them inderstand what the measures of the structures are approximately. They must understand different forces acting on the structure so that they can ensure it will remain stable and structurally sound. Using trigonometry, they can find out different horizontal and vertical components of the forces acting on the structure.

3.- I chose this application because I believe that engineering is one of the most important professions. Lives depend on how structurally sound buildings are, and if they are not well made with close attention to detail the building could easily collapse]]> 2021-10-25 23:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsong2/k8187q1igbffvetg/wish/1843224711 Alexa Vaqueiro vaqueiroale https://padlet.com/rachelsong2/k8187q1igbffvetg/wish/1843374834 1) 
Trigonometry is constantly being used in architecture in order to accurately calculate angles and measurements to form complex and even the simples buildings. While creating a model for the building that will be constructed, architects create mathematical representations to demonstrate their construction process and prove that the building will be stable.

Since, it's often used to find the distance to nearby stars and other celestial objects using a method of parallax. Parallax can be defined as the apparent shift of a nearby star against the fixed background that can be noticed as the Earth orbits the Sun. Though astronomy has been in existence for thousands of years, it is only recently that trigonometry has been used in the process. And since then, astronomers can't work without it. An example of this could be; to find the distance from Venus to the Sun, astronomers used trigonometry, the Earth, the Sun and Venus form a triangle.

3. While searching online, I found various ways that trigonometry could be applied, however I was looking for something more original.  After a while I found an article regarding the use of trigonometry in Astronomy, and so I did a little more research about it finding the information stated before. Although anything regarding space and the unknown has always spooked me out, I found interesting how people found the distance between two planets, it's not like they can take a measuring tape to space. I hardly think I study astronomy in a future or have anything to do with it, however, for this assignment it was fascinating finding this information.]]> 2021-10-26 01:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelsong2/k8187q1igbffvetg/wish/1843453543 Electromagnetic and Light Waves https://padlet.com/rachelsong2/k8187q1igbffvetg/wish/1843513948 1) Trigonometry is used to show electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves always move at the same rate and speed. they reach maximum and minimum points in their movement. These waves have frequency and wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation moves around the air. Trigonometric functions serve to determine the frequency and wavelength; it is used to understand the wave's motion and thus also understand its effects. The longer the wavelength, the less strong it is. Furthermore, trigonometry is also used with light waves. These differ slightly because the different sizes of the wavelengths of these waves show off a different color to the human color. So trigonometry helps by understanding what makes it possible for ovens, radios, phones, and our eyesight to work.

"Construction workers also use sine, cosine, and tangent in this way. They need to measure the sizes of lots, roof angles, heights of walls and widths of flooring, and even more."  If the workers math was incorrect this could have a serious problem further along into the building.  For example, if there was something wrong with the math behind the application of the roof, it could be possible for it to be not as stable as wanted.

1. Trigonometry can be used in various ways outside the classroom, among them; construction. It is helpful for measuring fields, lots, and areas for construction, making walls parallel and perpendicular, installing tiles, calculating the roof inclination, and the height of a building or structure that is being constructed. Trigonometry can also be used in construction to calculate structural load, roof slopes, ground surfaces, and many other aspects, including sun shading and light angles. Although it may seem like there is no math used behind architecture and construction, there are actually a lot of calculations being made to ensure that the measurements are perfect.

In criminology, trigonometry can help calculate a projectile's trajectory, to estimate what might have caused a car crash, the angle at which a bullet was shot, or the height of a building where a person fell. This can be mainly seen in the science department of forensics. Scientists use triangles to analyze the blood spatter on walls and criminals' footprints. Additionally, trigonometry is used for crucial calculations, which determine a person's state of living; whether someone goes to jail or stays free.

Architecture is used in Trigonometry for calculating the correct angles of structures. For example when an engineer determines the length of cables, the height of support towers, and the angle between the two when gauging weight loads and bridge strength he is using trigonometry to find the accurate angles. It also allows builders to correctly lay out a curved wall, figure the proper slope of a roof or the correct height and rise of a stairway.

As a result, when trig comes up in school, many students just want to get it over with. Trigonometric functions are used in the majority of games to get desirable results. Various trigonometric functions are commonly used in order to compute the angle of a triangle with a 900-degree corner. The locations and speeds of the items should be inscribed as X and Y while building a game. However, triangles are employed to calculate the values of locations and speeds, and trigonometry is required to determine the value of x and y so that the game can run. You can solve complicated design challenges and come up with novel and creative solutions using trigonometry. Trigonometry is used in a variety of fields, including physics, 3D modeling, architecture, dynamic analysis, and kinematics.
