HELP WITH ALOT OF QUESTIONS? TRIG? I don't get any concepts.

A spherical water tank has a diameter of 10 feet. How much water does it hold when half full (use 3.14 for , and round to the nearest hundredth)?
Of course, I'm here to help! Trigonometry can indeed involve complex concepts, but by breaking them down and understanding the basics, you'll have a much easier time grasping the subject.
To get started, let's go over some fundamental concepts of trigonometry:
1. Trigonometric Functions: Trigonometry revolves around six main functions: sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cosecant (csc), secant (sec), and cotangent (cot). These functions relate angles of a right triangle to the ratios of its side lengths.
2. Unit Circle: The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 unit, centered at the origin (0,0) of a coordinate plane. Understanding the unit circle is crucial for visualizing and applying trigonometric functions.
3. Right Triangles: Trigonometry often deals with right triangles, where one angle is 90 degrees (a right angle). The three sides of a right triangle are the hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent, and these terms are used frequently when discussing trigonometric relationships.
4. Trigonometric Identities: Trigonometric identities are equations that hold true for any angle. These identities help simplify and solve trigonometric equations.
Now, if you have specific questions or concepts you're struggling with, feel free to ask, and I'll be glad to help you understand them!
