Answer:

21/29

Explanation:

Soh Cah Toa is a trigonometric acronym to remember the right-triangle-trigonometric definitions for sine, cosine, and tangent.

Sine is opposite over hypotenuse.

Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse.

Tangent is opposite over adjacent.

So we are looking for cos(P).

So we want the side that is adjacent to P (touching P while also not being the hypotenuse). This side has measurement 21.

We also want the hypotenuse measurement which is 29.

So cos(P)=21/29.
