Answer 3

\(tan=\dfrac{oppoite}{adjacent}\)

\(sin=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\)

\(cos=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\)

Answer 4

Like that?

tan=12/16
sin=12/20
cos=16/12

Answer 5

yup

Answer 6

So I just divide those and that gives me the P?

Answer 7

yeah it will give u in decimal form

Answer 8

tan=12/16 = 0.75
sin=12/20 = 0.60
cos=16/12 = 1.33

Answer 9

What is P exactly? An angle...?

Answer 10

P is a placeholder for an angle, yes

Answer 11

Ok thank you :)

Answer 12

@owen3 does it look like I solved it right?

Answer 13

your cos is incorrect
tan P=12/16
sin P=12/20
cos P=16/20

Answer 14

16/20=0.80
