Trigonometry

Reason For Learning

Pythagoras was a great mathematician and philosopher who lived in the 6th century BCE. He is best known for the theorem that bears his name. It concerns the relationship between the lengths of the sides in a right-angled triangle. Geometry and trigonometry are branches of mathematics where Pythagoras’ theorem is still widely applied. Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that allows us to relate the side lengths of triangles to angles. Combining trigonometry with Pythagoras’ theorem allows us to solve many problems involving triangles.
