In the diagram, |QR| = 10m, |SR| = 8m
o, o and |PS| = x, Find x
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
1.32m
B
6.32m
C
9.32m
D
17.32
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
In right angled \(\bigtriangleup\)QPR
tan 30o = \(\frac{10}{x + 8}\)
(x + 8) tan 30 = 10
x + 8 = \(\frac{10}{0.5773}\)
x +8 = 17.3
x = 17.3 - 8
x = 9.32
