According to given situation cosine law in trigonometry identities used

[tex]c^{2}=b^{2} +a^{2} -2abcosx[/tex] to find the bearing angle of P from R is 67 degree.

What is trigonometry identities.

If the identities or equations are applicable for all the triangles and not just for right triangles, then they are the triangle identities. These identities will include:

Sine law

Cosine law

Tangent law

According to question,

The angle between RP & RQ.

Using the cosine law

[tex]PQ^{2} = RP^{2} + QR^{2} - 2PR*RQ*cosx\\12^{2}=8^2+10^2-2*8*10cosx\\cosx = \frac{164-144}{160} \\cosx = \frac{20}{160} \\cosx =\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x=83[/tex] degree

[tex]150-83=67[/tex]

Hence, the bearing of P from R​ is 67 degree
