This is a lengthy question ill go through all the formulas

This is a right triangle which means u can use pythagorean theorem to find QP

formula :


a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2)

Note that
c^(2) is always the hypotenuse(the hyp is always opposite to ninety degrees)

so lets substitute

=>
a^(2) +17^(2) =28^(2)

=>
a^(2) +289 =784

subtract 289 both sides


= > a^(2)=495

Now square root both


√( a)^(2)=√(495)

==>
3√(55) or 22.2 (answer)

But for the other three u have to use another formula any of sin, tan,cos while using For example angle Q and then use any and do inverse it will be very easy after u know all the formulas of Sin,cos, tan

SOHCAHTOA

Thats an acronym for the formula

Sin= Opposite/ hyp

Cos= Adjustent/Hyp

Tan= Opposite/Adjustent
