Question

In a triangle PQR R=90 P=29 and r=14cm find the length of side p to the nearest centimeter

Answer 1

I will draw a sketch to show the triangle PQR

Since we have the hypotenuse and need to find the

Since we have the length of the hypotenuse (r = 14)

Since we have the measure of

Since we need to find the length of side p, then

We will use the sine ratio

`\begin{gathered} sin(29)=(p)/(r) \\ \\ sin(29)=(p)/(14) \end{gathered}`

By using the cross-multiplication

`\begin{gathered} p=14* sin(29) \\ \\ p=6.787334683 \end{gathered}`

Round it to the nearest cm (whole number), then

p = 7 cm

The answer is p = 7 cm
