Question

In ANOP, the measure of ZP=90°, the measure of ZN=26°, and OP = 13 feet. Find

the length of PN to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

Length of PN = 26.65 ft (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

In ΔNOP

∠ P = 90°

∠ N = 26°

OP = 13 ft

Find:

Length of PN

Computation:

using trigonometry application

Tan 26 = 13 / PN

0.4877 = 13 / PN

Length of PN = 26.65 ft (Approx.)
