Algebra helps in to solve the mathematical equations and to derive the unknown quantities, like the bank interest, proportions, percentages. The letter variables in the algebra can be used to represent the unknown quantities which are coupled with the ability to rewrite the equations making it easier in finding the data for a given set of equations.
The algebraic formulas are used in daily life like finding the distance, find the volume in containers, or to figure out the sales prices as and when needed. Algebra is very helpful in stating a mathematical equation and relationship by making use of letters or other symbols representing as entities. The values of the equations of unknown quantities can be solved through algebra.
Some of the main topics coming under algebra include Basics of algebra, exponents, simplifying of algebraic expressions, polynomials, quadratic equations, etc.
While coming to Trigonometry, trigonometry is defined as one of the branches of mathematics that deals with the relationships that involve lengths and also the angles of triangles. In a simple manner, we can say that Trigonometry is the study of triangles. The word trigonometry was derived from the Greek word, where, ‘TRI‘ means Three, ‘GON‘ means sides and whereas the ‘METRON’ ways to measure. This concept is given to us by a Greek mathematician Hipparchus.
To be more specific, trigonometry is all about a right angled triangle, where one of the internal angles measure about 90°. Moreover, it is one of those divisions in mathematics that helps in finding the angles and missing sides in a triangle. In trigonometry, the angles are either measured in radians or degrees.
This branch divides into two sub-branches called as plane trigonometry and the spherical geometry. Trigonometry, in general, is about the trigonometric formulas, trigonometric ratios, and functions, Right-Angled Triangles, etc. Let us study all these topics in detail.
