What is the measurement of PQ?

Question

In right triangle PQR, ∠P is a right angle, m∠R=58∘, and QR=15.

sin58∘≈0.848

cos58∘≈0.530

tan58∘≈1.600

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 15 and the given angle measure of R is 58 degrees.

What is the measurement of PQ?

If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places, like this: 42.53

Answer 1

The length of PQ is 15 sin 58.
