Answer:

  47°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

The side adjacent to ∠P is the one with P in its name: RP. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle, the side without the right-angle vertex in its name: PQ. So, ...

  cos(∠P) = RP/PQ = 61/89

  ∠P = arccos(61/89) ≈ 46.733°

  ∠P ≈ 47°
