Trigonometry | Height and Distance

Last Updated : 1 Jun, 2026

Height and Distance is a branch of trigonometry used to find the height, distance, or position of objects by using angles and trigonometric ratios like sine, cosine, and tangent. It helps us measure things that are difficult to measure directly, such as the height of a building, the distance of a ship from the shore, or the elevation of a mountain.
