Introduction of Trigonometry
Trigonometry is derived from Greek words
trigonon (three angles) and metron ( measure).

Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics
which deals with triangles, particularly triangles
in a plane where one angle of the triangle is 90
degrees

Triangles on a sphere are also studied, in
spherical trigonometry.

Trigonometry specifically deals with the
relationships between the sides and the angles
of triangles, that is, on the trigonometric
functions, and with calculations based on these
functions.
Trigonometry is a branch of Mathematics that deals with the distances or
heights of objects which can be found using some mathematical techniques.
The word ‘trigonometry’ is derived from the Greek words ‘tri’ (meaning three) ,
‘gon’ (meaning sides) and ‘metron’ (meaning measure).

Historically, it was developed for astronomy and geography, but scientists
have been using it for centuries for other purposes, too. Besides other fields
of mathematics, trigonometry is used in physics, engineering, and chemistry.
Within mathematics, trigonometry is used primarily in calculus (which is
perhaps its greatest application), linear algebra, and statistics. Since these
fields are used throughout the natural and social sciences, trigonometry is a
very useful subject to know.
History
•
•
•
•

•

The origins of trigonometry can be traced to the civilizations
of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley, more
than 4000 years ago.
Some experts believe that trigonometry was originally
invented to calculate sundials, a traditional exercise in the
oldest books
The first recorded use of trigonometry came from the
Hellenistic mathematician Hipparchus circa 150 BC, who
compiled a trigonometric table using the sine for solving
triangles.
The Sulba Sutras written in India, between 800 BC and 500
BC, correctly compute the sine of π/4 (45°) as 1/√2 in a
procedure for circling the square (the opposite of squaring
the circle).

Many ancient mathematicians like Aryabhata,
Brahmagupta,Ibn Yunus and Al-Kashi made significant
contributions in this field(trigonometry).

Three Types Trigonometric Ratios
There are 3 kinds of trigonometric
ratios we will learn.
sine ratio

cosine ratio
tangent ratio
Right Triangle
A triangle in which one angle is
equal to 90 is called right
triangle.

The side opposite to the right
angle is known as hypotenuse.
AB is the hypotenuse

The other two sides are known
as legs.
AC and BC are the legs

Trigonometry deals with Right Triangles
Pythagoras Theorem
 In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of areas of the squares whose sides
are the two legs.

 In the figure
AB2 = BC2 + AC2

How can trigonometry be used to solve realworld problems?
Applications of Trigonometry
•

This field of mathematics can be applied in astronomy,navigation,
music theory, acoustics, optics, analysis of financial markets,
electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging
(CAT scans and ultrasound), pharmacy, chemistry, number theory
(and hence cryptology), seismology, meteorology, oceanography,
many physical sciences, land surveying and geodesy, architecture,
phonetics, economics, electrical engineering, mechanical
engineering, civil engineering, computer graphics, cartography,
crystallography and game development.

16
Applications
• Measuring inaccessible lengths
•
•

Height of a building (tree, tower, etc.)
Width of a river (canyon, etc.)
Application: Height
•

•

To establish the height of a
building, a person walks 120 ft
away from the building.

At that point an angle of
elevation of 32 is formed when
looking at the top of the building.

h=?



32

120 ft
H = 74.98 ft

18
Application: Height

68

•
•

An observer on top of a hill
measures an angle of depression of
68 when looking at a truck parked
in the valley below.

h=?

If the truck is 55 ft from the base of
the hill, how high is the hill?

55 ft
H = 136.1 ft

19
• Angle of Depression –
It is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal when it is
below the horizontal level, i.e., the case when we lower our head to look
at the object.

Angles of Elevation and Depression
Line of sight: The line from our eyes to the
object, we are viewing.

Angle of Elevation:The angle through which
our eyes move upwards to see an object
above us.

Angle of depression:The angle through
which our eyes move downwards to see an
object below us.

Applications of Trigonometry in
Astronomy
•
•
•
•

Since ancient times trigonometry was used in astronomy.
The technique of triangulation is used to measure the distance to nearby stars.
In 240 B.C., a mathematician named Eratosthenes discovered the radius of the
Earth using trigonometry and geometry.
In 2001, a group of European astronomers did an experiment that started in 1997
about the distance of Venus from the Sun. Venus was about 105,000,000
kilometers away from the Sun .
•
•

Application of Trigonometry in
Architecture
Many modern buildings have beautifully curved surfaces.
Making these curves out of steel, stone, concrete or glass is
extremely difficult, if not impossible.

•

One way around to address this problem is to piece the
surface together out of many flat panels, each sitting at an
angle to the one next to it, so that all together they create
what looks like a curved surface.

•

The more regular these shapes, the easier the building
process.

•

Regular flat shapes like squares, pentagons and hexagons,
can be made out of triangles, and so trigonometry plays an
important role in architecture.

27
Trigonometry begins in the right triangle, but it doesn’t have to be restricted to
triangles. The trigonometric functions carry the ideas of triangle trigonometry
into a broader world of real-valued functions and wave forms.
Trig functions are the relationships amongst various sides in right triangles.
The enormous number of applications of trigonometry include astronomy,
geography, optics, electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical
imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), pharmacy, seismology, land surveying,
architecture.

I get it!

Applications of Trigonometry • This field of mathematics can be applied in astronomy,navigation, music theory, acoustics, optics, analysis of financial markets, electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), pharmacy, chemistry, number theory (and hence cryptology), seismology, meteorology, oceanography, many physical sciences, land surveying and geodesy, architecture, phonetics, economics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer graphics, cartography, crystallography and game development. 16
  • 17. Applications • Measuring inaccessible lengths • • Height of a building (tree, tower, etc.) Width of a river (canyon, etc.)
  • 18. Application: Height • • To establish the height of a building, a person walks 120 ft away from the building. At that point an angle of elevation of 32 is formed when looking at the top of the building. h=?  32 120 ft H = 74.98 ft 18
  • 19. Application: Height  68 • • An observer on top of a hill measures an angle of depression of 68 when looking at a truck parked in the valley below. h=? If the truck is 55 ft from the base of the hill, how high is the hill? 55 ft H = 136.1 ft 19
  • 20. • Angle of Depression – It is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal when it is below the horizontal level, i.e., the case when we lower our head to look at the object. HORIZONTAL LEVEL  A ANGLE OF DEPRESSION 20
  • 21. • Angle of Elevation – It is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal when it is above the horizontal level, i.e., the case when we raise our head to look at the object. A  ANGLE OF ELEVATION HORIZONTAL LEVEL 21
  • 22. Angles of Elevation and Depression Line of sight: The line from our eyes to the object, we are viewing. Angle of Elevation:The angle through which our eyes move upwards to see an object above us. Angle of depression:The angle through which our eyes move downwards to see an object below us. 22

  • 25. • Road has a grade of 5.5%. • Convert this to an angle expressed in degrees. 5.5 ft ? 100 ft A = 3.1 25
  • 26. Applications of Trigonometry in Astronomy • • • • Since ancient times trigonometry was used in astronomy. The technique of triangulation is used to measure the distance to nearby stars. In 240 B.C., a mathematician named Eratosthenes discovered the radius of the Earth using trigonometry and geometry. In 2001, a group of European astronomers did an experiment that started in 1997 about the distance of Venus from the Sun. Venus was about 105,000,000 kilometers away from the Sun .
  • 27. • • Application of Trigonometry in Architecture Many modern buildings have beautifully curved surfaces. Making these curves out of steel, stone, concrete or glass is extremely difficult, if not impossible. • One way around to address this problem is to piece the surface together out of many flat panels, each sitting at an angle to the one next to it, so that all together they create what looks like a curved surface. • The more regular these shapes, the easier the building process. • Regular flat shapes like squares, pentagons and hexagons, can be made out of triangles, and so trigonometry plays an important role in architecture. 27
  • 28. Trigonometry begins in the right triangle, but it doesn’t have to be restricted to triangles. The trigonometric functions carry the ideas of triangle trigonometry into a broader world of real-valued functions and wave forms. Trig functions are the relationships amongst various sides in right triangles. The enormous number of applications of trigonometry include astronomy, geography, optics, electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), pharmacy, seismology, land surveying, architecture. I get it! 28
