In ∆PQR, find the measure of ∡P 30.4° 35.9° 54.1° 59.6°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use \[\tan \theta\] to find the angle as the value of base and altitude is already given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its asking to find angle p

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

tanP = RQ/QP

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

then take inverse.

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

so basically, \[P=tan^{-1}(\frac{RQ}{QP})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@apoorvk exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so its 59.6

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Nope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than what is it

OpenStudy (radar):

Do you know what an opposite side is of a specified angle? Do you know what an adjacent side of the angle P ? Do you know what defines tan of angle P? You need to know this to solve this problem.

OpenStudy (radar):

Also do you know what\[\tan ^{-1}\] means.
