Question

SQR is a straight line, triangle PQR=90°,PQ=8cm and QR=15cm
.find the value of each of the following
. sin<PQR
. cos<SRP
. tan<PRQ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that:

QP=8cm,PR=6cm and SR=3cm

(I) In △PQR and △SPR

∠PRQ=∠SRP (Common angle)

∠QPR=∠PSR (Given that)

∠PQR=∠PSR (Properties of triangle )

∴△PQR∼△SPR (By AAA)

(II)

SP

PQ

=

(Properties of similar triangles)

⇒

SP

8cm

=

3cm

6cm

⇒SP=4cm and

⇒

6cm

QR

=

3cm

6cm

⇒QR=12cm

(III)
