Module 11 Overview: Trigonometry
Suppose you were a surveyor wanting to build a bridge across the top of two cliffs?
Or what if you were trying to map a large body of water and needed to know distances?
Obviously, some of these measures can’t be obtained by two people holding a tape measure. In this module, you will begin the study of trigonometry, a mathematical tool that can answer some of these questions.
Trigonometry shows us how to use measures of angles and side measures in triangles to find missing measures.
