Problem

In a triangular park PQRPQR, right-angled at QQ, the sides PQPQ and QRQR are 9 m9\text{ m} and 6 m6\text{ m} respectively. (i) Calculate the length of the side PRPR. (ii) Taking ∠PRQ=β\angle PRQ = \beta, determine the exact values (in simplest surd form where necessary) of all six trigonometric ratios of β\beta. (iii) Evaluate sin⁡βcos⁡β\dfrac{\sin \beta}{\cos \beta} and interpret the result with reference to your answers in part (ii).
