Answer:

64°

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram. Since the triangle has one of its angle as 90°, it is a right angled triangle.

Using the SOH CAH TOA trigonometry ratios:

Since ∠P is opposite to side QR,

QR = opposite side = 8ft

RP = adjacent side = 3.9ft

According to TOA

Tan∠P = Opposite/Adjacent = QR/RP

Tan∠P = 8/3.9

Tan∠P = 2.05

∠P = arctan 2.051

∠P = 64°
