Trigonometry is used in orthopedics tofind the deviation of a vertebra in degrees and know if the nervesare damaged. It is also used to mold prosthetic arms andlegs that measurements are tailored to allow operation close to theoriginal member.
Beside this, how is trigonometry used in medical imaging?
Radiologist use an array of imaging, ultrasound,nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance to diagnose or treatdiseases. They also use trigonometry to get the correctangles so that each beam accurately target the cancerous cells.Diagnostic radiology helps healthcare professionals seestructures inside your body.
- Architecture and Engineering. Much of architecture andengineering relies on triangular supports.
- Music Theory and Production. Trigonometry plays a major role inmusical theory and production.
- Electrical Engineers and Trigonometry.
- Manufacturing Industry.
Then, how is trigonometry used in real life?
It is used in oceanography in calculating theheight of tides in oceans. The sine and cosine functions arefundamental to the theory of periodic functions, those thatdescribe the sound and light waves. Calculus is made up ofTrigonometry and Algebra. Also trigonometry has itsapplications in satellite systems.
A Oceanographer uses trigonometry tomeasure distance. For instance if the oceanographer wastracking a sea creature and they needed to know how far they werefrom the animal they would use trigonometry to find out thedistance from them and the animal. They may also usetrigonometry to calculate the height of tides.
