  1. In a given triangle PQR, right angled at Q, the following measures are

    PQ = 5 cm

    PR + QR = 25 cm

    Now let us assume, QR = x

    PR = 25-QR

    PR = 25- x

    According to the Pythagorean Theorem,

    PR2 = PQ2 + QR2

    Substitute the value of PR as x

    (25- x) 2 = 52 + x2

    252 + x2 – 50x = 25 + x2

    625 + x2-50x -25 – x2 = 0

    -50x = -600

    x= -600/-50

    x = 12 = QR

    Now, find the value of PR

    PR = 25- QR

    Substitute the value of QR

    PR = 25-12

    PR = 13

    Now, substitute the value to the given problem

    (1) sin p = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse = QR/PR = 12/13

    (2) Cos p = Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse = PQ/PR = 5/13

    (3) tan p =Opposite Side/Adjacent side = QR/PQ = 12/5
