Answer 1

Step 1: Problem

Find the measure of angle P

Step 2: Concept

Apply cosine ratio formula

Step 3:

Given data

Hypotenuse = 13cm side facing right angle

Opposite = 12cm side facing given angle P

Adjacent = 5cm

`\begin{gathered} \theta\text{ = p} \\ \cos \theta\text{ = }\frac{adjacent}{\text{Hypotenuse}} \\ \cos p\text{ = }(5)/(13) \\ \cos \text{ p = 0.3846153846} \\ p\text{ = }\cos ^(-1)\text{ 0.3846153846} \\ p\text{ = 67.380135} \end{gathered}`

Step 4: Final answer

Angle
