You will probably drive over a bridge or jump sometime in your life. That bridge was built using an understanding of forces acting at different angles because of the weight. You will notice that bridges involve many triangles,  squares and other shapes trigonometry was used when designing the lengths and strengths of those triangles and squares so that they could determine the weight differential on the bridge.    Also because the school's system thinks it's a required course for gradutaion.

Please help me Three of the following tricks are used to solve trigonometry equations, but one is not. Can you find the one that is NOT used? Sometimes we turn single angles into double and half angles to solve trigonometry equations. Sometimes factoring is used to solve trigonometry equations. Sometimes radicals are removed and like terms are combined to solve trigonometry equations. Sometimes fractions are cleared in order to solve trigonometry equations.
