[[[> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Circle-trig6.svg/338px-Circle-trig6.svg.png ]]] Trigonometry is, in theory, the study of triangles. The name itself talks about "measuring" (metric) and triangles (trig). However, it has now gone well beyond just triangles, and talks about a great deal of geometry in general. In particular, /sin/ and /cos/ (and related functions) turn up everywhere in engineering and physics, even though they are defined simply in terms of right-angled triangles.
