Answer:

  • sin(P) = (√11)/6
  • cos(P) = 5/6

Explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationship between side lengths and trig functions in a right triangle. It tells you ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

__

QR is the side opposite angle P. PR is the side adjacent to angle P. PQ is the hypotenuse of this triangle. Translated to the given triangle, the trig functions are ...

sin(P) = (4√11)/24 = (√11)/6

cos(P) = 20/24 = 5/6
