Answer:

The correct option is option (c).


Sin \ P= \frac {RQ}{PQ}

Explanation:

Right angled triangle:

  • One angle must be 90° and other two angles are acute angle.
  • The hypotenuses is the longest side of the triangle and opposite right angle.
  • It follows the Pythagorean Theorem.

Given that,

∠QRP= 90°, ∠RPQ= 30°, ∠PQR = 60°

we know that,


sin \theta =(Opposite )/(Hypotenuse)

for sin P , the opposite is QR.

The hypotenuse is PQ.

Therefore,


Sin \ P= \frac {RQ}{PQ}
