Practicing Success
In $\triangle PQR, PQ = 24$ cm and $\angle Q = 58^\circ$ S and T are the points on side PQ and PR, respectively, such that $\angle STR = 122^\circ$ and If PS = 14 cm and PT = 12 cm, then the length of RT is : |
14.8 cm 16 cm 15 cm 16.4 cm |
16 cm |
PR is a straight line ∠PTS + 122º = 180º ∠PTS = 58º In triangle PQR and PST ∠P is common ∠PTS = ∠PQR Triangle PQR ∼ PTS \(\frac{PR}{PS}\) = \(\frac{PQ}{PT}\) \(\frac{PR}{14}\) = \(\frac{24}{12}\) \(\frac{PR}{14}\) = \(\frac{24}{12}\) PR = 28 cm We know, PR = PT + RT 28 = 12 + RT RT = 16 cm |
