    Given:

    △PQR is right-angled at Q.

    PQ = 4cm

    RQ = 3cm

    Required to find: sin P, sin R, sec P, sec R

    Given △PQR,

    By using Pythagoras theorem to △PQR, we get

    PR2 = PQ2 +RQ2

    Substituting the respective values,

    PR2 = 42 +32

    PR2 = 16 + 9

    PR2 = 25

    PR = √25

    PR = 5

    ⇒ Hypotenuse =5

    By definition,

    sin P = Perpendicular side opposite to angle P/ Hypotenuse

    sin P = RQ/ PR

    ⇒ sin P = 3/5

    And,

    sin R = Perpendicular side opposite to angle R/ Hypotenuse

    sin R = PQ/ PR

    ⇒ sin R = 4/5

    And,

    sec P=1/cos P

    secP = Hypotenuse/ Base side adjacent to ∠P

    sec P = PR/ PQ

    ⇒ sec P = 5/4

    Now,

    sec R = 1/cos R

    secR = Hypotenuse/ Base side adjacent to ∠R

    sec R = PR/ RQ

    ⇒ sec R = 5/3
