The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze triangle PQR with the given information. We know that: - \( \angle PQR = 30^\circ \) - \( PQ = 10\sqrt{3} \) - \( QR = 10 \) We need to find the length of side PR and then evaluate the truth of the given statements. ### Step 1: Use the Law of Cosines We can use the Law of Cosines to find the length of side PR. The Law of Cosines states: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cdot \cos(C) \] Where: - \( c \) is the side opposite angle \( C \) (in this case, PR), - \( a \) and \( b \) are the other two sides (PQ and QR), - \( C \) is the angle between sides \( a \) and \( b \). In our case: - \( a = PQ = 10\sqrt{3} \) - \( b = QR = 10 \) - \( C = \angle PQR = 30^\circ \) Substituting these values into the Law of Cosines: \[ PR^2 = (10\sqrt{3})^2 + (10)^2 - 2 \cdot (10\sqrt{3}) \cdot (10) \cdot \cos(30^\circ) \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Values Calculating each term: \[ (10\sqrt{3})^2 = 100 \cdot 3 = 300 \] \[ (10)^2 = 100 \] \[ \cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Now substituting these into the equation: \[ PR^2 = 300 + 100 - 2 \cdot (10\sqrt{3}) \cdot (10) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Calculating the last term: \[ 2 \cdot (10\sqrt{3}) \cdot (10) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 100 \cdot 3 = 300 \] Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ PR^2 = 300 + 100 - 300 \] \[ PR^2 = 100 \] Taking the square root: \[ PR = 10 \] ### Step 3: Evaluate the Statements Now that we have \( PR = 10 \), we can evaluate the statements provided in the options. 1. **Statement A**: \( \angle PQR = 45^\circ \) - **False**, as \( \angle PQR = 30^\circ \). 2. **Statement B**: Area of triangle PQR is 120 - **False**, as we will calculate the area next. 3. **Statement C**: Area of triangle PQR is \( 25\sqrt{3} \) - **True**. 4. **Statement D**: Circumradius \( R \) is 10 - **True**. ### Step 4: Calculate the Area of Triangle PQR The area of triangle PQR can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times PQ \times QR \times \sin(\angle PQR) \] Substituting the known values: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (10\sqrt{3}) \times (10) \times \sin(30^\circ) \] Since \( \sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (10\sqrt{3}) \times (10) \times \frac{1}{2} \] \[ = \frac{1}{4} \times 100\sqrt{3} = 25\sqrt{3} \] ### Conclusion The true statements are: - Statement C: Area of triangle PQR is \( 25\sqrt{3} \). - Statement D: Circumradius \( R \) is 10.

To solve the problem, we will analyze triangle PQR with the given information. We know that: - \( \angle PQR = 30^\circ \) - \( PQ = 10\sqrt{3} \) - \( QR = 10 \) We need to find the length of side PR and then evaluate the truth of the given statements. ...
