Answer :
To find QR:
Since, tan θ = perpendicular/base
We know that,
⇒ [∵, PQ = 6 cm & tan 60° = √3]
⇒ QR = 6√3
Now, PR can be found by two ways -
1st method: In ∆PQR, using Pythagoras theorem,
PR2 = PQ2 + QR2 [∵, (hypotenuse)2 = (perpendicular)2 + (base)2]
⇒ PR2 = 62 + (6√3)2
⇒ PR2 = 36 + 108 = 144
⇒ PR = √144 = 12
2nd Method:
Since, cos θ = base/hypotenuse
We know that,
⇒
⇒
⇒ PR = 2 × PQ
⇒ PR = 2 × 6 = 12
Thus, QR = 6√3 cm and PR = 12 cm.
