Explanation:

It's a question of trigonometry.

You need to remember that tangent (tan) stands for Perpendicular / Base.

So, tan P = QR / PR

By Pythagoras Theorem,

34² = 30² + x²

x² = 34² - 30²

x² = 1156 - 900

x² = 256

x = 16

Now, placing the values,

tan P = 30 / 16

tan P = 1.875

HOPE IT HELPS ^_^
