Trig and Geometry mostly. I do graphic design and install shite on buildings with weird facades.

Practically everybody uses algebra whether they realize or not. Even if they've never taken an algebra class.

Microsoft Excel formulas sometimes

Use geometry every day for different calculations to be able to determine sizing needed for various packaging items for containers in food, beverage, vitamin and many other industries.

I've got a 16 year old kid that helps me sometimes. I'm trying to teach him how to use a tape measure.
He's in the 11th grade. It's sad.
I own an electrical contracting business and I'm a firefighter. Geometry, algebra, trigonometry every day. Electricity and hydraulics have very similar calculations whether its figuring voltage drop over a 300' run of wire or adjusting pump pressure to have 120 psi at a nozzle on a 4-story standpipe system.
My nephew is getting ready to take LEAP tests next week and is top 3 in his class. I told him when he hears classmates say, "I'm never gonna need to use this," just think "I'm gonna make more money than that guy."

Geometry and Trig, but that's more for home use... here and there at work. Algebra at work for excel stuff usually.
Very little of the math I learned in college, but I do need to understand concepts of cal, etc sometimes. Definitely no differential equations.
Electrical Engineering Tech (Basically I help test and troubleshoot electronics, mostly DOD stuff).

Same here. I teach algebra 2 and trig.

I try to show him fun things he can use math for, like: How to know how tall a power pole is, by measuring it's shadow, ballistic stuff and how he can make things on a lathe or mill. Gear ratios, things like that.
Have to ask why this would get a downvote?
I usually don't care, but this is a head scratcher.

Probability because of statistics.

I have actually used the Pythagorean theorem several times
Never really had anything i needed that was super advanced
Also used lots of equation stuff with liquids and then figuring out distance and sq feet and stuff like that

Yep. All my complex calculations I regularly need I already have an excel form and just plug in numbers.
I did have to to long division in a meeting last Friday and one of my younger employees asked if it was trigonometry.

Algebra, a little bit of calculus, more conceptual, but sometimes calculate kinetics etc.

I can count using my fingers.

Used Trig today. Mechanical Engineer for 40 years and still haven’t used Algebra or Calculus. Retiring end of year.
