Question:

ΔPQR is right-angled at Q. The length of PQ is 5 cm and ∠PRQ = 30°. Determine the length of side QR.

Options:

$5\sqrt{3}$ cm

$3\sqrt{3}$ cm

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ cm

$\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}$ cm

Correct Answer:

$5\sqrt{3}$ cm

Explanation:

⇒ Tan R = \(\frac{PQ}{QR}\)

⇒ Tan \({30}^\circ\) = \(\frac{5}{QR}\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{√3}\) = \(\frac{5}{QR}\)

QR = 5√3 cm

Therefore, the answer is 5√3 cm.
