Question

What is the trigonometric ratio and its importance ?

Answer 1

Explain the trigonometric ratio and its importance.

Trigonometric ratios are defined as the values of all the trigonometric functions based on the value of the ratio of sides in a right angled triangle.

The six trigonometric ratios are given as: $\sin \left(\theta \right),\cos \left(\theta \right),\tan \left(\theta \right),\cot \left(\mathrm{\theta }\right),\sec \left(\mathrm{\theta }\right),\mathrm{cosec}\left(\mathrm{\theta }\right)$.

Trigonometric ratios are important because they are used in a variety of places and subjects, including civil engineering, architecture, mechanical engineering, medical imaging, electronics, electrical engineering, astronomy, chemistry, geography, computer music development, oceanography, seismology, phonetics, image compression, game development, and so on. The most important applications are listed below.

• It can be used to determine the heights of skyscrapers or large mountains.
• It aids in determining the distance between two celestial bodies in space.
• It aids in maximizing the power production of solar cell panels at various orientations.
• It aids in determining the distance between the shore and the sea.
