MNP M p=8, m∠N=47degrees

show works

Answer 1

In each case you need to draw the right triangle and label the given parts.

Then you need to remember a couple of facts.

The two acute angles in the right triangle add to 90 degrees.

The Pythagorean Theorem (The sum of the squares upon the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
