Depending on the severity, it may compress the lung and impair breathing. Mild effusions may be asymptomatic and only detected upon radiographic investigation (x-ray, CT scan).
Plane trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the relationship between the sides and angles of a triangle. Plane trigonometry builds upon the basic concepts of Euclidean geometry, and it has applications in a variety of mathematical fields, from physics to advanced calculus. Keep Learning.
