You’re standing at the edge of a cliff, phone in hand, trying to measure the distance to the opposite side – no tape measure, no drone, just your brain. Now what? Trigonometry just became your ...

Calculate the length AB. Give the answer to one decimal place. Label the sides of the triangle \(o\), \(a\) and \(h\). Next choose the correct ratio from \(s^o_h~c^a_h~t^o_a\). The length \(h\) is ...

The introduction of the transistor and then the microprocessor in the late 1960s and 1970s made it possible to build electronic calculators that could compute trigonometric functions directly. These ...

The three sides of a right-angled triangle have special names. The hypotenuse (\(h\)) is the longest side. It is opposite the right angle. The opposite side (\(o\)) is opposite the angle in question ( ...

Anyone who’s taken classes in geometry, algebra, trigonometry or other advanced math forms has certainly encountered the graphing calculator before. These multi-function devices make incredibly ...
