What are the real life applications of angles?
There are many uses of angles. One of them is architecture. If you want a rectangular room and walls that are straight, you need angles.
Another use is in bearings. These are 3 digit angles (eg 005, 097, 233) used to locate ships and aeroplanes using radars.
Another use is in fitting certain items eg sofas into your home. You do not want to buy a sofa and realise it cannot around the wall so you need angles. Also, to make sure doors do not hit objects and walls, you need to use loci which are a type of angle.
You can use a part of mathematics called trigonometry to find out how tall buildings are. Simply measure how far you are from the base of the building and measure the angle that you have to look up from the ground to see the top of the building. You can use this data to find out the height of big structures eg the Eiffel Tower.
Furthermore, companies that use regular polygons as designs can use angles to be able to design a pattern with a hexagon and many more shapes.
