Consider triangle PQR. What is the length of side QR?
8 units, 8/3 units, 16 units, 16/3 units
Solution:
By using the Pythagorean theorem
QR2 = PR2 + PQ2
It is given that
PQ = 8√3, PR = 8
Substituting the values
QR2 = 82 + (8√3)2
QR2 = 64 + 192
QR2 = 256
By taking the square root on both the sides, we get
QR = √256
QR = 16 units
Therefore, the length of the side QR is 16 units.
Consider triangle PQR. What is the length of side QR?
Summary:
Considering triangle PQR, the length of side QR is 16 units.
