Step-by-step explanation:
IN ∆ PSQ
PS = 6 CM
ANGLE PQS = 60°
TAN 60 ° = PS / QS
√3 = 6 / QS
√3 QS = 6
QS = 6/√3
= 6/√3 × √3/ √3
= 6√3 / 3
= 2√3 CM
NOW , IN ∆PSR
TAN 30° = PS / SR
1 / √3 = 6 / SR
HENCE , SR = 6 √ 3
LENGTH OF QR = QS + SR
= 2 √ 3 + 6 √ 3
= 8 √3 ANSWER

Answer:
8√3cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, PQ⊥QR,
PS = 6cm
tan 60° = perpendicular/base
⇒√3=6/QS
=6/√3 = 2√3 cm.
tan 30° = 6/SR
⇒1/√3 = 6/SR
⇒SR= 6√3 cm
∴QS+SR = QR
⇒QR = 2√3 + 6√3
= 8√3 cm.
