Final answer:

To find the length of q, use the Law of Cosines with the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of q, we can use the Law of Cosines. Let's label the sides of the triangle formed by A, O, and P as a = 6.3 cm, b = q, and c = p.

The Law of Cosines states that c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos(C), where C is the angle opposite side c.

Plugging in the values, we get (6.3)^2 = q^2 + (6.3)^2 - 2q(6.3)cos(149°).

Solving this equation for q will give us the length of q, to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
