The given triangle is

To solve for PR, we have to use the sine function which is equivalent to the ratio between the opposite leg and the hypothenuse.

$\begin{gathered} \sin 52=\frac{PR}{47} \\ PR=47\cdot\sin 52 \\ PR\approx37.04 \end{gathered}$ <h2>Hence, PR is 37.04 mm long, approximately.</h2>
