Write a reflective essay on the real-life application of trigonometry in technology, movies, buildings, and constructions. Explain how trigonometry makes our life easier:
Trigonometry, the branch of mathematics where it deals with the relations of the sides and angles of triangles and the functions of any angles. But why do we need this in real life? What are the helpful outcomes that the knowledge of trigonometry can benefit us? Did you know that seamstress, pilots, musicians, sound engineers, the manufacturing industry, video games, and many more sectors are using trigonometry in their daily life?
Believe it or not, trigonometry is all around us (I was also surprised by this fact!) We use this knowledge all the time yet we don’t even realize how helpful trigonometry is in our modern society! Technology won’t be possible without the help of trigonometry, without it, we cannot launch a satellite in space (meaning there will be no GPS & even INTERNET!). Without the Internet, we cannot use social media or apps such as YouTube, FB, Google, etc, this emphasizes how important trigonometry is in our life! Not only is it useful for access to applications but also to computer music, since it uses sound waves which are being developed with the help of trigonometry! Including the production of movies or films, trigonometry is a huge part of the success of the film’s cinematography. It helps the character to move and know which angles are better to have a good perspective or camera shot. Not just for cameramen but also for the actors, animators & even their producer needed the knowledge in trigonometry to help them make a better and enjoyable movie with great cinematography!
This may be obvious but Trigonometry knowledge is very required especially when it comes to architecture, determining the height of buildings or mountains, and for construction purposes. For any construction projects (whether it's large or not) we need to use trigonometry in order to precisely measure the distances of what we will build. For instance, trigonometry helps make architectural related even safer and faster through the help of computing angles, intersections, distances, determining the height of structures to ensure stability and safety when designing construction! ( just like designing a house, bridge, or car) Also, there is a device called Clinometer that uses Trigonometry which is very helpful when measuring the height of an object (this makes us possible to measure the height of even the tallest mountains!)
There are so much more real-life applications of trigonometry that makes our life better that we are unaware of. Without trigonometry, we cannot develop technology, build a car, build infrastructure (like bridges and roads),, know the height of tall mountains and buildings, and many useful innovations that can help improve our modern society. We will appreciate Mathematics for Trigonometry even more due to its big contribution to the development of today’s world, without trigonometry, our life won't be easier. This proves how we use Trigonometry knowledge in our everyday lives!
