What it is

Wave
When talking about a wave a wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium from on location to another location.  But you may ask what a medium is, a medium is a substance or material that carries the wave. An example is  for example how you send a text message, The message is being being brought by a wave the medium supports the wave so that the other person you are texting are able to reach the other person. 
Mechanical Wave
Mechanical waves are waves that propagate through matter(Solid,Liquid,or gas), in mechanical waves there are two basic types of wave motions, Longitudinal and transvere waves. The longitudinal wave has particles that are displaced are parallel to the direction of the wave. one way it travels is in individual equilibrium potions, another way is oscillatory. The different in those is that it can refract in the medium.  Transverse has particle displacement  is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
Electromagnetic Wave
Electromagnetic waves can travel through the vacuum of outer space. Electromagnetic waves are different from mechanical waves, unlike mechanical waves they require the presence of a presence of a material medium in order to transport their energy to one place to the other.

Facts

Frequency, amplitude, and wavelength

Frequency - The frequency of a wave is how often the waves go up and down. The frequency of a wave is the same across the entire wave. Frequency is measured in Hertz with one hertz being one cycle per second.
Wavelengths - Wavelength is the distance from one wave to another wave. Waves have a high point called the crest, and a low point called the trough. Because of that, waves can be measured from one high point to the next high point, or from one low point to the next low point.
Amplitude - Amplitude is the height of the wave when moved from its equilibrium. Amplitude can be seen as one half of the distance from the crest, or trough. Amplitude is measured as the distance the oscillator moves from the equilibrium.

How We Use It

We use it when we use technology, by sending waves  from one place to another. We us it on a daily bases when we listen to music or even seeings color. Even just going outside is using electromagnetic waves. When we go wash our hands we are using mechanical waves because the movement of our hands in the water sends waves through the water. But if you notice that when you take your hands out of the water that the water begins to play in a straight. The water moves because of movement in the waves changed.
Relationship
 The relationship they share is that they all need each other to properly function. In cell phones they need Electromagnetic waves to send messages. Mechanical waves come in because the waves have to move through matter to properly send the message.
