Could you explain a bit?

Answer 10

You need to use the tangent formula. (Opposite over adjacent.) The angle you are trying to find is angle P so you take the measure of the opposite side (33.8) over the measure of the adjacent side (57.6). You divide that to get .5868. Then you look at your tangent chart or mess with numbers on a calculator for a bit and you get angle P to be 30.4 degrees.
