How to do Q1 a and b (Please wait for me to attach the picture)
The figures are too small to see the given dimensions. Perhaps you can enlarge it and repost.
Find the unknown marked lengths and angles in the following figures

Part a.) |dw:1331452868207:dw| PR = 3 + 4 = 7 cos R = 7/12 R = arccos(7/12) approx = 54.3147° 180° in a triangle, so m<PQR approx = 35.6853 Save that for later. Pythag thm: 7² + QP² = 12² QP² = 144 - 49 QP approx = 9.7468 tan <PQS approx = 3/9.7468 Take arctan. m<PQS approx = 17.1080 n = m<SQR - m<PQS = 35.6853 - 17.1080 = 18.5773 *note* all equals are approx here --^ n approx = 18.5773 Part b.) |dw:1331452868207:dw| Pythag thm -> QS = 10 Given RQ = QS so RQ = 10 RP = RQ + QP = 18, save for later tan <QSP = 8/6 Take arctan of both sides. m<QSP approx = 53.1301 tan <RSP = 18/6 Take arctan of both sides. m<RSP approx = 71.5651 θ = m<RSP - m<QSP = 71.5651 - 53.1301 = 18.4350 *note* all equals are approx here --^ @Luis Rivera, if the 6-8-10 triangle were a 30-60-90, then it's sides would be in a ratio of 1:sqrt(3):2, which they are not.
