Question

In PQR the measure of R=90, QR=61 feet and RP=90 find the measure of P to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

<P = 56 degrees

Explanation:

Given the following

m<R = 90 degrees

QR = 61feet = Adjacent

RP = 90 feet= Opposite

Required

tan<P = opp/adj

Tan<P = 90/61

<P = arc tan (90/61)

<P = arctan 1.4754

<P = 55.9

<P = 56 degrees to the nearest degree
