In scripting, what is Trigonometry used for, other than sine & cosine forming waves? (If possible please provide 2-3+ examples). (I'm asking this because if Trigonometry is useful in ROBLOX, I would want to study more about it). I know basic things like: opposite over hypotenuse, adjacent over hypotenuse, and opposite over adjacent. Thank you :)

Basically anything geometric can be trigonometric. For example, I made a rope attaching to my telephone poles in my game PAYDAY 2 (R&B bank) by using the cosine of an imaginary circle in which the secants are the points I set the rope to touch. As a result, you get a nice u shaped wire.

Very useful when you are trying to make CFrame-related animations run smoothly (ex: wave-like motion)
