“The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn.”

Introduction to Geometry and Trigonometry:

Geometry is everywhere. Angles, shapes, lines, line segments, curves, and other aspects of geometry are every single place you look. Trigonometry is a subset of mathematics that studies relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Trigonometry is found all throughout geometry, as every straight-sided shape may be broken into as a collection of triangles. Sine, cosine and tangent are the principle trigonometric functions.

Geometry is used in architecture.
Architects use geometry to design and create a structure’s blueprints. The perimeter and area of the shapes as well as the angle measurements must be determined to create the blue print before the structure is built.

In conclusion, it is evident that both trigonometry and geometry play very important roles in our lives, and we would not have achieved what the world was like today without them.
