Question

In ΔPQR, sin P = 0.2, sin R = 0.2 and r = 12. Find the length of p.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

p = 12

Explanation:

The sines of the opposite angles are the same, so the lengths of the sides are the same.

p = 12

_____

The law of sines tells you ...

p/sin(P) = r/sin(R)

p/0.2 = 12/0.2 . . . . . . substitute given values

Multiply by 0.2 to get ...

p(0.2/0.2) = 12(0.2/0.2)

p = 12
