In summary, trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles and has applications in various fields such as engineering, physics, astronomy, and navigation. The basic trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, and tangent, which are used to calculate ratios of triangle sides. The primary resources for learning trigonometry are textbooks, online tutorials, and practice problems, with Khan Academy and MathisFun being popular online sources. Trigonometry can be used to solve real-world problems involving angles and distances. Some common misconceptions about trigonometry include that it is only used in advanced mathematics and is difficult to understand, but in reality, it has practical applications and can be easily understood with proper instruction and
