Find the measure of angle P in the triangle below.
Answer:
sine^-1(48/60)
We take inverse sine because we don't have the angle we use SOHCAHTOA with. From p, we have an opposite side available, and a hypotenuse,
so based on sine it's sine, oppsosite, hypotenuse.
We take inverse sine because angle p isnt't given,
so
inverse sin (48/60) = 53 degrees = p
Answer:
53.13°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using cosine law
48² = 60² + 36² - 2(60)(36)cos(P)
cos(P) = 0.6
P = 53.13010235°
