In a right triangle with vertices labeled P, Q, and R, the hypotenuse, side r, is 117 cm long and sin(P) = 0.65. Calculate the lengths of all unknown sides, to one decimal place, and the sizes of all unknown angles to the nearest degree.
------------
P = asin(0.65) =~ 41 degs
Q = 90 - P =~ 49 degs
R = 90 degs
----------------
p = r*sin(P) = 76.1 cm
q = r*sin(Q) = 88.9 cm
