It's the study of ****ing right triangles.
Who in their right mind would teach this, I learned all I needed to when I learned the Pythagorean Theorem.
Trigonometry is a useless math, **** it in the cosine.

It teaches critical thinking and problem solving even if it doesn't have a practical application. If you take calc or pre-calc expect to see a ton of advanced trig

It is more for thinking and problem solving than real life application.

I find it easy, if you need help remembering what type of sum you use I remember it this way.
SohCahToa


Soh = Sin = Opposite divided by the Hypotinuse


Cah = Cos = Adjacent divided by the Hypotinuse


Toa = Tan = Opposite divided by the Adjacent


Didnt know who to do a divide sign!
