One of the most important professions that use trigonometry is architecture. Trigonometry is excessively important in architecture because architects use it to calculate distances. The architects especially use sine, cosine, and tangent to calculate distances that involve triangles. Architects also use cotangent, secant, and co-secant but not to the extent that they use sine, cosine, and tangent.
These Trig functions are important because the architect can find opposite, adjacent, or hypotenuse values of any building containing triangular structures. Here is an example in which architects use trig: Architects needs to find out how high a crane should be in order to reach a certain height of a buiding. They can find this by using one of the six trig functions.
