Triangles are the building blocks of all other straight-edged shapes. They were used for hundreds of years to create accurate maps and GPS today still works using trigonometry. Even the pixels on phones and screens use trigonometry.We need to know these things so that we can work out exact length
Not every triangle is a right-angle triangle, so we can't always use Pythagoras and SOHCAHTOA to find missing sides and missing angles. We instead use the sine rule or the cosine rule. They can both be used to find either missing sides or missing angles in any triangle (right angle or not). Click h
SOHCAHTOA, Pythagoras, sine rule and cosine rule and all things trigonometry actually have a lot of uses in “real life”. Such as working out distances to things, heights of buildings and mountains, navigation at sea. An important part of “useful” trigonometry are angles of elevation and depression.
Thousands of years ago it was discovered that the two smaller squares on the side of a right angle triangle added up to the exact same size as the larger square on the triangle - the square formed on the diagonal side. This is called Pythagoras Theorem. VISIT us at www.fuseschool.org, where all of
