(diagram: right triangle pqr with right angle at q; pq = r, qr = p, pr = q)
First, recall the definition of sine in a right triangle: $\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$.
In $\triangle PQR$, $\angle Q = 90^\circ$ (right angle). So:
- For $\angle P$:
- Opposite side to $\angle P$ is $p$? Wait, no, wait. Wait, the sides: $QR = p$, $PQ = r$, $PR = q$ (hypotenuse, since it's opposite the right angle at $Q$).
So:
- $\sin(P)$: angle at $P$, opposite side is $QR = p$? Wait, no, wait. Wait, $\angle P$: the sides adjacent and opposite. Wait, $\angle P$: the right angle is at $Q$, so the sides:
- Hypotenuse: $PR = q$ (longest side, opposite right angle).
- Opposite to $\angle P$: $QR = p$? Wait, no, $\angle P$ is at vertex $P$, so the sides:
- Adjacent to $\angle P$: $PQ = r$
- Opposite to $\angle P$: $QR = p$
- Hypotenuse: $PR = q$
Wait, no, let's label correctly. In right triangle $PQR$ with right angle at $Q$:
- Vertices: $P$, $Q$ (right angle), $R$
- Sides:
- $PQ = r$ (leg, between $P$ and $Q$)
- $QR = p$ (leg, between $Q$ and $R$)
- $PR = q$ (hypotenuse, between $P$ and $R$)
So for angle $P$:
- Opposite side: $QR = p$? Wait, no, angle $P$ is at $P$, so the side opposite angle $P$ is $QR$ (since $Q$ is the right angle, so $QR$ is opposite $P$). Wait, no: in triangle $PQR$, angle at $P$: the sides:
- The side opposite angle $P$ is $QR$ (length $p$)
- The hypotenuse is $PR$ (length $q$)
- The adjacent side is $PQ$ (length $r$)
So $\sin(P) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{p}{q}$? Wait, but the options have $\sin(P) = \frac{r}{q}$ and $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$? Wait, looking at the options:
Options:
- $\sin(P) = \frac{r}{q}$
- $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$
- $\sin(Q) = \frac{r}{p}$ (but $Q$ is right angle, $\sin(90^\circ) = 1$, so $\frac{r}{p}$ would be 1 only if $r = p$, which isn't general. So this is wrong.)
- $\sin(R) = \frac{q}{r}$ (no, hypotenuse is $q$, opposite to $R$ is $PQ = r$, so $\sin(R) = \frac{r}{q}$)
- $\sin(R) = \frac{r}{q}$
Wait, let's re-express:
For angle $R$:
- Opposite side: $PQ = r$
- Hypotenuse: $PR = q$
- So $\sin(R) = \frac{r}{q}$ (which is option 5)
For angle $P$:
- Opposite side: $QR = p$? Wait, no, angle $P$: the side opposite is $QR$? Wait, no, in triangle $PQR$, angle at $P$: the sides:
- The side opposite angle $P$ is $QR$ (since $Q$ is the right angle, so $QR$ is opposite $P$). Wait, no, the vertices are $P$, $Q$, $R$. So the sides:
- $PQ$: between $P$ and $Q$ (length $r$)
- $QR$: between $Q$ and $R$ (length $p$)
- $PR$: between $P$ and $R$ (length $q$, hypotenuse)
So angle at $P$: the sides forming angle $P$ are $PQ$ (length $r$) and $PR$ (length $q$). The side opposite angle $P$ is $QR$ (length $p$). So $\sin(P) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{p}{q}$? But the options have $\sin(P) = \frac{r}{q}$ (option 1) and $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$ (option 2). Wait, maybe I labeled the sides wrong.
Wait, maybe the labels are:
- $PQ = r$ (vertical leg)
- $QR = p$ (horizontal leg)
- $PR = q$ (hypotenuse)
Angle at $P$: so the sides:
- Adjacent to $P$: $PQ = r$
- Opposite to $P$: $QR = p$
- Hypotenuse: $PR = q$
So $\sin(P) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{p}{q}$? But option 2 is $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$? Wait, the options are:
- $\sin(P) = \frac{r}{q}$
- $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$? Wait, no, the user's image shows:

First, recall the definition of sine in a right triangle: $\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$.
In $\triangle PQR$, $\angle Q = 90^\circ$ (right angle). So:
- For $\angle P$:
- Opposite side to $\angle P$ is $p$? Wait, no, wait. Wait, the sides: $QR = p$, $PQ = r$, $PR = q$ (hypotenuse, since it's opposite the right angle at $Q$).
So:
- $\sin(P)$: angle at $P$, opposite side is $QR = p$? Wait, no, wait. Wait, $\angle P$: the sides adjacent and opposite. Wait, $\angle P$: the right angle is at $Q$, so the sides:
- Hypotenuse: $PR = q$ (longest side, opposite right angle).
- Opposite to $\angle P$: $QR = p$? Wait, no, $\angle P$ is at vertex $P$, so the sides:
- Adjacent to $\angle P$: $PQ = r$
- Opposite to $\angle P$: $QR = p$
- Hypotenuse: $PR = q$
Wait, no, let's label correctly. In right triangle $PQR$ with right angle at $Q$:
- Vertices: $P$, $Q$ (right angle), $R$
- Sides:
- $PQ = r$ (leg, between $P$ and $Q$)
- $QR = p$ (leg, between $Q$ and $R$)
- $PR = q$ (hypotenuse, between $P$ and $R$)
So for angle $P$:
- Opposite side: $QR = p$? Wait, no, angle $P$ is at $P$, so the side opposite angle $P$ is $QR$ (since $Q$ is the right angle, so $QR$ is opposite $P$). Wait, no: in triangle $PQR$, angle at $P$: the sides:
- The side opposite angle $P$ is $QR$ (length $p$)
- The hypotenuse is $PR$ (length $q$)
- The adjacent side is $PQ$ (length $r$)
So $\sin(P) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{p}{q}$? Wait, but the options have $\sin(P) = \frac{r}{q}$ and $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$? Wait, looking at the options:
Options:
- $\sin(P) = \frac{r}{q}$
- $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$
- $\sin(Q) = \frac{r}{p}$ (but $Q$ is right angle, $\sin(90^\circ) = 1$, so $\frac{r}{p}$ would be 1 only if $r = p$, which isn't general. So this is wrong.)
- $\sin(R) = \frac{q}{r}$ (no, hypotenuse is $q$, opposite to $R$ is $PQ = r$, so $\sin(R) = \frac{r}{q}$)
- $\sin(R) = \frac{r}{q}$
Wait, let's re-express:
For angle $R$:
- Opposite side: $PQ = r$
- Hypotenuse: $PR = q$
- So $\sin(R) = \frac{r}{q}$ (which is option 5)
For angle $P$:
- Opposite side: $QR = p$? Wait, no, angle $P$: the side opposite is $QR$? Wait, no, in triangle $PQR$, angle at $P$: the sides:
- The side opposite angle $P$ is $QR$ (since $Q$ is the right angle, so $QR$ is opposite $P$). Wait, no, the vertices are $P$, $Q$, $R$. So the sides:
- $PQ$: between $P$ and $Q$ (length $r$)
- $QR$: between $Q$ and $R$ (length $p$)
- $PR$: between $P$ and $R$ (length $q$, hypotenuse)
So angle at $P$: the sides forming angle $P$ are $PQ$ (length $r$) and $PR$ (length $q$). The side opposite angle $P$ is $QR$ (length $p$). So $\sin(P) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{p}{q}$? But the options have $\sin(P) = \frac{r}{q}$ (option 1) and $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$ (option 2). Wait, maybe I labeled the sides wrong.
Wait, maybe the labels are:
- $PQ = r$ (vertical leg)

- $PR = q$ (hypotenuse)
Angle at $P$: so the sides:
- Adjacent to $P$: $PQ = r$
- Opposite to $P$: $QR = p$
- Hypotenuse: $PR = q$
So $\sin(P) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{p}{q}$? But option 2 is $\sin(P) = \frac{p}{q}$? Wait, the options are:
