TRIGONOMETRY IN
ARCHITECTURE
Surveyors also use trigonometry to examine land and determine its boundaries and size . Although surveyors perform this task , architects may rely on surveys when designing structures .
Ancient architects had to be mathematicians because architecture was part of mathematics . Using math and design principles , they built pyramids and other structures that stand today . Because angles are an intricate part of nature , sines , cosines , and tangents are a few of the trigonometry functions ancient and modern architects use in their work .
