Problem

\triangle PQR

, right-angled at

R

\tan P = \dfrac{3}{4}

and the hypotenuse

PQ

measures

25\,\text{cm}

. What are the lengths of

PR

and

QR

respectively? a)

PR = 15\,\text{cm},\; QR = 20\,\text{cm}

PR = 12\,\text{cm},\; QR = 9\,\text{cm}

PR = 20\,\text{cm},\; QR = 15\,\text{cm}

PR \approx 16.6\,\text{cm},\; QR = 18.75\,\text{cm}
