Question

Find mZP. P 26 2./13 R mZP = I’m confused

Answer 1

Answer:

45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a right triangle, we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

The angle marked P faces QR and that makes it the opposite side

PR faces the right angle and that makes it the hypotenuse

The trigonometric ratio that links the opposite and the hypotenuse is the sine

It is the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

Thus;

sin P = √26/2 √13

Sin P = √2/2

P = arc sin √2/2

P = 45 degrees
