Answer:

Explanation:

Triangle PQR is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

PR represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠R as the reference angle,

QR represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

PQ represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine m∠R, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan m∠R = 8/3 = 2.67

m∠R = Tan^-1(2.67)

m∠R = 69.5° to the nearest tenth.
