\r\n" );
document.write( "Since 'p' is an acute angle, it is in first quarter.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, we can think about a right-angled triangle, in which 'p' is one angle \r\n" );
document.write( "and '3' is the opposite leg, while '5' is the hypotenuse.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the adjacent leg is  \"sqrt%285%5E2-3%5E3%29\" = \"sqrt%2825-9%29\" = \"sqrt%2816%29\" = 4.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence,  tan(p) is the ratio  \"opposite_leg%2Fadjacent_leg\" = \"3%2F4\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "At this point, the solution is complete,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "and the  ANSWER  is  tan(p) = \"3%2F4\".\r\n" );
