Answer» In triangle POR, right angle at Q, PR + QR = 25cm and PQ = 5cm. Determine the value of sin P, cos P and tanP. Given PR + QR = 25 , PQ = 5 PR be x. and QR = 25 - x PYTHAGORAS theorem ,PR2 = PQ2 + QR2 x2 = (5)2 + (25 - x)2 x2 = 25 + 625 + x2 - 50x 50x = 650 x = 13
PR = 13 cm QR = (25 - 13) cm = 12 cm sin P = QR/PR = 12/13 cos P = PQ/PR = 5/13 tan P = QR/PQ = 12/5 |
