I have to write a two page paper and a 10 min presentation on trigonometry and radios and i cant find anything!! i know it has something to do with sin and cos but i can find nothing to elaborate on. I dont really know anything about sin and cos!! Can anyone help me?? Basically i need to know what the relationship between trig and radios are but anything on sin and cos will help!!

Are you sure it's not supposed to be "triangulation"?

It may be that you're searching the wrong word. Trigonometry is all about ratios, not radios.

Here are the basics from which you can certainly get enough to do a decent 2 page paper and 10 minute presentation:

...oops, I see Need beat me to the punch...

Look close at the actual assignment to confirm exactly what it is you need to present on.

Then you'd better go back and get the correct info about the paper/presentation.

The one thing I am sure of is that it's not radios: It's ratios.

This was my angle: http://searchnetworking.techtarget.c...753924,00.html
"Triangulation is a process by which the location of a radio transmitter can be determined by measuring either the radial distance, or the direction, of the received signal from two or three different points. Triangulation is sometimes used in cellular communications to pinpoint the geographic position of a user."
