a) The length of p is 21.4 cm
b) The measure of angle P is 45.6°
<h3>Trigonometry </h3>
From the question, we are to determine the length of p
From the <em>Pythagorean theorem</em>, we can write that
30² = 21² + p²
p² = 30² - 21²
p² = 900 - 441
p² = 459
p = √459
p = 21.4 cm
∴ The length of p is 21.4 cm
b)
Measure of angle P
Using SOH CAH TOA
cos P = 0.7
P = cos⁻¹(0.7)
P = 45.6°
Hence, the measure of angle P is 45.6°

Answer: 7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the first piece, and the second piece is twice as long, then the second piece is 2x.
If the third piece is three times as long as the first piece, x, then the third piece is 3x.
The 42-inch board must be equal to all 3 pieces, so we will set up an equation and solve for x.
42 = x + 2x + 3x
42 = 6x
42 = 6x
7 = x
The first piece is 7 inches long.
