Introduction
✗ Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that
focuses on relationships between the sides and
angles of triangles.
✗ The word trigonometry comes from the Latin
derivative of Greek words for triangle (trigonon)
and measure (metron). Trigonometry (Trig) is an
intricate piece of other branches of mathematics
such as, Geometry, Algebra, and Calculus.
