    Trigonometry is a branch of geometry that deals with the relation between sides and angles of triangles. It is said to have originated from Hipparchus who is a greek astronomer, geographer, and mathematician. However, the Babylonians, Egyptians, and earlier Greeks also are said to have contributed to the development of trigonometry.
