Answer:

a)
\cos(70\degree)

b) 12.72 units

Explanation:

Recall that the sine and cosine are completed functions.

This means that:
\sin(x)=\cos(90-x)


\sin(20\degree)=\cos(90-20)


\sin(20\degree)=\cos(70\degree)

Recall that: sine ratio is opposite/hypotenuse


\sin 58=(|PQ|)/(15)

This implies that:


|PQ|=15\sin 58


|PQ|=15(0.848)


|PQ|=12.72
