5 BEST REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS OF ANGLES.

5 BEST REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS OF ANGLES.

As you probably know that the Angle is the measure of rotations taken by a ray around its initial point. But, have you ever thought what could be the practical applications of Angles in real life ?

Position, direction, precision, and optimization are some reasons why people use angles in their daily life. In this post you are going to learn about the 5 best practical real life applications of Angles. So let’s dig in.

1.) At Street Intersections – 

Street intersections are made at angles as close as possible to 90°, if not greater, so that visibility is easier when turning. It is beneficial for city planners to create additional turns so that there are larger turning angles for safer traffic.

For example, if a car has to make a sharp 60° turn onto traffic, it would probably be more likely to get into an accident because the turn is difficult. If you find a non-perpendicular four-way intersection with a stoplight, it is likely to have a “No Turn on Red” sign for those drivers who would be at an obtuse angle. It would be easier for the driver if the road were constructed so that an additional intersection is added so the car can turn once at 150° and again at 90°.

2.) In The Parking Spaces –

The use of angles in the design of parking spaces affects how many cars can park in a lot. Most parking arrangements involve spaces that are perpendicular or slightly angled to the curb. An advantage to using obtuse-angled spaces is that it is easier to turn a car at an obtuse angle than at a right angle, so there may be less accidents in a lot with angled spaces. An advantage to using right-angled spaces is the opportunity to fit more cars in the parking lot.

3.) In Airplane and Ship Navigations –

Airplane pilots, military-orienteering specialists, and ship-navigation crews are responsible for using angles to move efficiently towards a destination. After accounting for wind and current speed, navigation teams will determine an angle to direct their course of movement. For example, suppose a ship is 3 miles from shore and is docking at a port that is 6 miles away, with minimal current affecting he path of the boat. The captain will request the boat to be moved 60° West of North, or 30° North of West. This direction is equivalent to the angle that is formed between the path of the boat and the northern or westward direction. The captain can also simply ask to move the boat 60°, because it is assumed that navigation direction is counter-clockwise from the North position.

4.) In Sailboats Sailing –

Sailboats cannot steer directly into the wind, because they would be pushed backwards. In order to sail against the wind, sailors need to tilt their boat at an angle, ideally 45°, so that the wind catches the sail. If the boat pushes off course, it will need to change direction again so that it moves perpendicular to its path in the opposite direction. Sailors call this tacking. This action ensures that the boat continues to maintain a 45° angle with the wind. This zigzag pattern enables the boat to reach its finishing point while constantly sailing into the wind.

5.) In Sports & Games –

Athletes who try to throw or hit balls certain distances, such as baseballs, basketballs, footballs, and golf balls, use angles strategically. If they want to hit a ball short and high, they will use an angle close to 90°. In order to hit a low-flying line drive, they will use an angle close to 0°. When a golfer tees off or a football kicker aims for a long field goal, he or she should strike the ball at a 45° angle in order to obtain maximum distance. Frogs know this angle: push-off angle for a frog hop has been measured to be close to 45°.

REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY | REAL LIFE MATH.

  Triangle trigonometry has many applications that help find unknown lengths or angle measurements. For instance, paintings, motion pictures, and televisions have ideal viewing distances in order to create the greatest possible image from the eye. The triangle is formed between the view and the top and bot- tom (or the sides) of the viewing object. Here are the 5 best Real Life Applications of Trigonometry. 1.)  In Astronomy Astronomers use triangle trigonometry to determine distances and sizes of objects. For example, the distance from the earth to the moon, and earth to the sun, can be found by identifying their angles from the horizon during an eclipse. The height of a solar flare can also be determined by measuring the angle from the sun to the tip of the flare, and using distance information about the earth and sun. 2.)  In Engineering Work Trigonometry can be used to find unknown lengths or angle measurements. In a situation involving right triangles, only a side le...

BEST WAY TO CLASSIFY AND DEFINE THE NUMBERS.

 Numbers are the basic terms to embark upon any counting. Can we make any calculation without the help of any number ? Moreover, can you even count your fingers without using any number ? The answer is , No. In this post we are going to learn about what the numbers really are and how could be classified on the basis of their properties.   Can you answer the question  "What is a number ?" The answer is  " A number is an arithmetic value that represents a particular quantity. It is expressed by symbols, words and figures. It is used in counting and making calculations."   It probably looks like a theoretical note but, it is the explanation of a number.   Now we are moving towards Types of Numbers. Natural Numbers  -  Numbers that are naturally used in counting are called natural numbers. They are denoted by N. These are ; (1,2,3,…so on.) Whole numbers –  If o is also considered as a number then natural numbers and 0 together made set of nu...
