I would like to make a pinball game for my computer programming class. and my teacher said that i would need alot of trigonometry. and i was wondering how to use that or if i could have some code from someone.

Math is a big part of programming. You may be able to create your game using basic math, but your game will play more "basic".
If you are in a computer programming class, why are you trying to solicit someone else to do your work for you? You are doing yourself a great disservice by asking someone to think for you. I would also think you should have the math skills necessary for programming.
I would suggest you start building an pre-alpha version of the game. Set up the play area with one ball, one bumper, one target, and flippers. Get these too work first. Once you have your code for these objects, you can add more objects and refine your code.
Often times I will build just one part of a program to get the code right. Then I build the next part, and so on. After I have a collection of scripts and object, I put it all together.
Currently I am working on my Bricked game; it is on my user page. This game is in its 5 build now. What I have posted is the third build. In building this game, I first built one ball, one brick, and one bat. Nothing else. When I had working code, I build more.
Good luck.
If you have any programming related questions, I will gladly help. Just remember; I won't do your homework or tests.
