Trigonometric Functions:


S(O)/(H) C(A)/(H) T(O)/(A)


Sine(Opposite)/(Hypotenuse) Cos(Adjacent)/(Hypotenuse) Tan(Opposite)/(Adjacent)

You have the angle and the adjacent. You need to find the hypotenuse (PR). Therefore, you use cos.


Cos(26)=(13)/(H)

Rearrange the formula to find H (PR):


H = (13)/(Cos(26))

14.463 ~ 14.5

14.5°
