In triangle \(\triangle{PQR}\), we have \(\angle P = 90^\circ\)\(QR = 20\), and \(\tan R = 4\sin R\). What is \(PR\)?

This is a right-angled triangle with QR as the hypotenuse.  Let PQ be the Opposite to angle at R, and PR be the Adjacent.

 

tanR = 4sinR  means 1/cosR = 4, or cosR = 1/4

 

But cosR = PR/QR = PR/20

 

So PR/20 = 1/4

 

Hence PR = 5
