Right Triangle Trig - Overview

In mathematics, trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the sides and the angles of triangles. Trigonometry is used in solving problems in similar triangles, right triangles, triangles presented by their co-ordinates, spherical triangles, and triangles on elliptical arcs. Trigonometry is also used for computing the lengths of the sides of a triangle given one side and the angle opposite that side. Trigonometry is used in navigation, engineering, and physics. Trigonometry is the study of triangles, specifically the relationships between the sides and the angles of triangles. The area of a triangle is half the base times the height. The trigonometry functions are used to relate the sides and the angles of a triangle.
