Answer: Angle P (choice 4)

=======================================

The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite over adjacent sides.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(theta) = 4/3

This means that

opposite = 4 and adjacent = 3

This only happens when angle P is the reference angle. In other words,

tan(P) = 4/3
