Trigonometry in Daily Life: Group Members

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between sides and angles of triangles. It has many applications including in architecture. Architects use trigonometry to calculate exact angles and ensure structures like arches, domes and beams are built safely. For example, trigonometry was used to analyze the lean of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, calculating the angle of lean to be 5.5 degrees. Trigonometric functions and identities also allow calculations like estimating the height of the tower based on measurements taken from a distance.

TRIGONOMETRY

• Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between


the sides and angles of triangles.
• Sides and angles that touch are described as adjacent
• Sides and angles that don’t touch are described as opposite
• For a right triangle, the side opposite to the right angle is called the
hypotenuse
pythagoras
• In any right angle triangle, the area of square
whose side is the hypothenuse is equal to the sum
of areas of the square whose sides are the two
legs.

theorem
PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
• The tangent of angle A = the length of the opposite side divided by
the length of the adjacent side
• The sine of angle A = the length of the opposite side divided by the
length of the hypotenuse
• The cosine of angle A = the length of the adjacent side divided by the
length of the hypotenuse
• The cosecant of angle A = 1 divided by sin angle
• The secant of angle A = 1 divided by cos angle
• The cotangent of angle A = 1 divided by tangent angle

Mnemonics in Trigonometry
• A common useMnemonics
of mnemonics is toin Trigonometry
remember facts and relationships in
trigonometry. For example, the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios in a right
triangle can be remembered by representing them and their corresponding
sides as strings of letters. For instance, a mnemonic is SOH-CAH-TOA
• Sine = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse
• Cosine = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse
• Tangent = Opposite ÷ Adjacent
APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY
APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY
• It may not have direct applications in solving practical issues but used in the
various field.
• This field of mathematics can be applied in architecture astronomy, navigation,
music theory, acoustics, optics, analysis of financial markets, electronics,
probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging, pharmacy, chemistry,
number theory, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, phonetics economics,
mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, computer
graphics, cartography, digital imaging, crystallography and game development.
ARCHITECTURE

• TRIGONOMETRY IN REAL
Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and
WORLD !
constructing buildings or other structures
• Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as
cultural symbols and as works of art.
• Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural
achievements.
How trigonometry is Used in Architecture?

Trigonometry is used in architecture to ensure that buildings are built safely.


• for example, architects have to calculate exact angles of intersection for components of their
structure to ensure stability and safety.
• examples of trigonometric use in architecture include arches, domes, support beams, and
suspension bridges.
• Architects design buildings and other structures. In addition to considering the way these buildings
are structures look, they also make sure they are functional and safe.
• Architects not only draw the plans for the building but they have to make sure the building follows
safety codes and they also have to plan the budget for the building.
• Trigonometry can be used to find the length of a wall
• you could solve this by using Tangent.
THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA

The Leaning Tower of Pisa or simply the Tower of Pisa


is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the
cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, known worldwide
for its nearly four-degree lean, the result of an
unstable foundation. The tower is situated behind the
Pisa Cathedral and is the third-oldest structure in the
city's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), after the
cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry.

CALCULATION

• (sin 68°)/55.86 m=(sin α)/27.8 m

• sin α=[(sin 68°)/55.86 m]*27.8 m

• α =sin-1[(sin 68°)*27.8/55.86]

• α =27.5°

• Based on the diagram, the leaning angle is 90-θ degrees. Now we


just need to find θ to solve the leaning angle.
To find θ, we can find measurement of α first and then the use the
fact that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees to
find θ.
Now to find α ,use the law of sines:
• Since the interior angles of a
triangle adds up to 180°, θ=(180-α-
68)°=(180-27.5-68)°=84.5°.
Since the leaning angle=(90-θ)°
and we found that θ=84.5°, the
leaning angle=(90-84.5)°=5.5°.
During the calculations, the height
of the tower is assumed to be the
distance from the top center to the
bottom center of the tower. And
where the sunlight strikes the tower
and casts a shadow is assumed to
be at the top center of the tower.
The leaning tower of pisa is inclined 5.5 degrees from the vertical. At a distance of
100 meters from the wall of the tower, the angle of elevation to the top is 30.4
degrees. Estimate the height of the tower. ( Height of the tower = x )

Solution ( sin rule )


Angle y = 90° – 5.5°
= 84.5°
Angle z = 180° - 30.4 ° - 84.5 °
= 65.1 °
Sin 30.5 ° = sin 65.1 °
Height of tower 100
Sin 30.5 = 0.00907
Height of tower
Height of tower = 55.79m

In reality its 55.86 meters


• In 1990, the Leaning Tower of Pisa was closed to the
public due to safety concerns. The tower reopened in
2001 after a 10-year project to reduce its tilt from
vertical. Engineers' efforts were successful and
resulted in a tilt of 50, reduced from 5.5°. Suppose
someone drops an object from the tower at a height
of 150m. How far FROM the base of the tower will the
object land?

tan 5° = x
150

X = 150(tan 5°)
X = 13.12329953
= 13m #
