trigonometry is used to measure lengths of buildings, angles, figure out areas of shapes, volumes of shapes, basically to measure many physical properties of objects around us. It is used by mechanical engineers, people working in construction and manufacturing, etc.

It should probably be learned at an early age, but I would say around 13-14 is a good age, though the earlier the better.
