Answer:
P ≈ 48.89°(nearest hundredth)
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle PQR forms a right angle triangle since angle R is 90°. The triangle has an hypotenuse , adjacent and opposite side.
Using the SOHCAHTOA principle one can find the sine ratio of angle P. Let us designate where each side represent.
opposite side(QR) = 55
adjacent side(PR) = 48
hypotenuse(PQ) = 73
sin P = opposite/hypotenuse
sin P = 55/73
P = sin⁻¹ 55/73
P = sin⁻¹ 0.75342465753
P = 48.8879095605
P ≈ 48.89°(nearest hundredth)
