Triangle PQR has right angle Q. If sin R = 4/5 what is the value of tan P?
1 answer:
By applying Pythagorean' theorem, the value of tanP is equal to 3/4.
<h3>How to determine the value of tan P?</h3>Since triangle PQR has right-angle Q and sinR = 4/5, we have:
sinR = Opp/hyp = 4/5
tanP = Opp/Adj = QR/4
Next, we would determine the length of QR by applying Pythagorean' theorem:
PR² = QR² + PQ²
5² = QR² + 4²
25 = QR² + 16
QR² = 25 - 18
QR = √9
QR = 3 units.
For the value of tanP, we have:
tanP = 3/4.
