Answer:

[tex]p\approx 4.52\text{ cm}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for p using the trigonometric ratio sine (or cosine):

[tex]\sin(\theta)=\dfrac{\rm opposite}{\rm hypotenuse}[/tex]

Plugging in the given values, we get:

[tex]\sin(65\°) = \dfrac{4.1}{p}[/tex]

↓ taking the reciprocal of both sides

[tex]\dfrac{1}{\sin(65\°)} = \dfrac{p}{4.1}[/tex]

multiplying both sides by 4.1

[tex]\dfrac{4.1}{\sin(65\°)}=p[/tex]

evaluating using a calculator

[tex]\boxed{p\approx 4.52\text{ cm}}[/tex]
