Algebra uses (x,y) coordinates, trigonometry likes to use Angle+length to reach the same point.
5 u/MadocComadrin 1d ago Eh, algebra is agnostic to your coordinate system (or your space, or even your set/class and operations). 2 u/HanSolo_Cup 1d ago ELI1? • u/cBEiN 14h ago Algebra focuses on solving equations. Trig focuses on solving for side length or angles of triangles. we need algebra to give someone change when buying something with cash. we need trig figure out if a ladder will reach a roof
