Answer:

∠ p ≈ 59°

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in right triangle ABD to find DB

DB² = 5² + 6² = 25 + 36 = 61 ( take square root of both sides )

DB =
√(61)

---------------------------------------

Using the cosine ratio in right triangle DBC

cos p =
(adjacent)/(hypotenuse) =
(DC)/(DB) =
(4)/(√(61) ) , thus

p =
cos^(-1) (
(4)/(√(61) ) ) ≈ 59°
