Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that describes the relationship between the angles and side lengths in triangles. The ability to calculate distances using angles has long been critical. As early as the third century BCE, trigonometry was being used in the study of astronomy. Early explorers, using rudimentary calculations and the stars, were able to navigate their way around the world. They were even able to map coastlines along the way. Cartographers use trigonometry when they are making maps. It is essential to be able to calculate distances that can’t be physically measured. Astronomers use trigonometry to calculate distances such as that from a particular planet to Earth. Our explorations have now turned towards the skies and outer space. Scientists design and launch space shuttles and rockets to explore our universe. By applying trigonometry, they can approximate the distances to other planets. As well as in astronomy and space exploration, trigonometry is widely used in many other areas. Surveyors use trigonometry in setting out a land subdivision. Builders, architects and engineers use angles, lengths and forces in the design and construction of all types of buildings, both domestic and industrial. In music, a single note is a sine wave. Sound engineers manipulate sine waves to create the desired effect. Trigonometry has many real-life applications. Hey students!

In triangle ABC, let BD be the perpendicular line from B to AC, of B Let the length of AD = x, then DC = (b–x). Using triangle ADB and Pythagoras’ theorem, we obtain: c2 = h2 + x2 c h a Using triangle CDB and Pythagoras’ theorem, we obtain: a2 = h2 + (b − x)2 A D C x b–x b Expanding the brackets in equation : a2 = h2 + b2 − 2bx + x2 Rearranging equation and using c2 = h2 + x2 from equation : a2 = h2 + x2 + b2 − 2bx = c2 + b2 − 2bx = b2 + c2 − 2bx From triangle ABD, x = c cos(A); therefore a2 = b2 + c2 − 2bx becomes a2 = b2 + c2 − 2bc cos(A).
