Title: APPLICATIONS OF THE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
Abstract: This chapter discusses the applications of the trigonometric functions. It presents inner product or scalar product of vectors and describes compound angle formulae. The chapter discusses the solution of triangles. There are six basic measurements of a triangle, its three angles, and its three sides. If three of these measurements, properly selected, are known, the remaining three can be calculated; the process of calculation is known as the solution of the triangle. The basic formulae in the solution of triangles are the sine and cosine formulae. The methods used in practice depend on the aids available for computation; some methods are suitable for desk computers, others for slide rules or logarithm tables.
