Given,
In triangle PQR,
PQ = 5cm
PR + QR = 25cm
Let us say, QR = x
Then, PR = 25 – QR = 25 – x
Using Pythagoras theorem:
PR² = PQ² + QR²
Now, substituting the value of PR, PQ and QR, we get;
(25-x)² = (5)² + (x)²
(25)²+x²-50x = 25 + x²
625 – 50 x = 25
50 x = 600
x = 12
So, QR = 12
PR = 25 – QR = 25 – 12 = 13
Therefore,
sin P = QR/PR = 12/13
cos P = PQ/pR = 5/13
tan P = QR/PQ = 12/5
Thank You
