Answer: " m∠P = 35.9306 ° " .
______________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_______________________________________________________

Given the following right triangle:

P
|
| \
| \
| \
| \
| \ 57.6
| \
| \
| \
|-- \
|_|___________\
Q 33.8 R

Solve for: " m∠P ";
____________________________________

Using "SOH -CAH- TOA" mnemonic;

Use "SOH" : sine = opposite/ hypotenue ;

→ sin (m∠P) = (33.8) / (57.6) ;
____________________________________
→ (33.8) / (57.6) = 0.5868055555555556 ;

→ sin (m∠P) = 0.5868055555555556 ;

Take the "arcsin" of each side of the equation;
to find the: "m∠P" ;

→ arcsin [sin m∠P] = arcsin (0.5868055555555556) ;

________________________________________________
m∠P = 35.930646907667 ° ; → round to: " 35.9306 ° " .
