Question 30
TrigonometryIn ΔPQR, |QR| = 2 cm, ∠PRQ = 60° and ∠PQR = 90°. Find |PR|

- A.4√3 cm
- B.4 cm
- C.2√4 cm
- D.4√3/3 cm
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B (4 cm)
Explanation
PR is the hypotenuse: cos 60° = QR/PR, so PR = 2 ÷ ½ = 4 cm.
In ΔPQR, |QR| = 2 cm, ∠PRQ = 60° and ∠PQR = 90°. Find |PR|

Answer: B (4 cm)
PR is the hypotenuse: cos 60° = QR/PR, so PR = 2 ÷ ½ = 4 cm.
