challenges of triangulation offering some relevant examples that guide in understanding the concept. 2.0 Background of Triangulation Originally triangulation was a method used to determine the location of a fixed point based on the laws of trigonometry. The laws state that if one side and two angles of a triangle are known, the other two sides and angle of that triangle can be calculated. Triangulation though not defined was used in the early civilizations of the ancient Egypt and Greece.

(Thompson & Bolin, 2011). Studies proved high school coursework played a significant role in a student’s decision to pursue a STEM major while in college. The completion of high school courses such as biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, and trigonometry showed a positive correlation with students deciding to major in a STEM field (Maltese & Tai, 2011). An important attribute to increase enrollment of women of color in STEM disciplines is to have the presence of women that work in STEM in the community

still used up to this day, the ancient Egyptians needed math for practical problems: measuring time, flooding of the Nile, cooking and baking, book keeping and accounting, taxes. They also made the first math textbook, which contained the first trigonometry including sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent (sin = o/h, cos = a/h. tan = o/a, cot = a/o), which has been one of the basis of mathematical calculations till date. The Greeks brought the Pythagorean theory; the Romans brought the Roman Numerals
