In ΔPQR, the measure of ∠R=90°, the measure of ∠P=62°, and RP = 8.6 feet. Find the length of QR to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer:
in triangle PQR
relationship between base and perpendicular is given by tan angle
tan 62=p/b
tan62=x/8.6
x=tan62×8.6=16.17ft
the length of QR to the nearest tenth of a foot is 16ft.
