ABSTRACT

Non-right-angled triangles and some practical applications As was mentioned earlier, fields that use trigonometry include astronomy, navigation, music theory, acoustics, optics, electronics, probability theory, statistics, biology, medical imaging (CAT scans and ultrasound), pharmacy, chemistry, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, many physical sciences, land surveying, architecture, economics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer graphics, cartography and crystallography. There are so many examples where triangles are involved in engineering, and the ability to solve such triangles is of great importance.
