The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we are given two equations involving the angles of triangle PQR: 1. \( 3 \sin P + 4 \cos Q = 6 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 4 \sin Q + 3 \cos P = 1 \) (Equation 2) We need to find the value of angle \( R \). ### Step 1: Square both equations First, we will square both equations to eliminate the sine and cosine terms. From Equation 1: \[ (3 \sin P + 4 \cos Q)^2 = 6^2 \] This expands to: \[ 9 \sin^2 P + 24 \sin P \cos Q + 16 \cos^2 Q = 36 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] From Equation 2: \[ (4 \sin Q + 3 \cos P)^2 = 1^2 \] This expands to: \[ 16 \sin^2 Q + 24 \sin Q \cos P + 9 \cos^2 P = 1 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] ### Step 2: Add the two squared equations Now, we will add Equation 3 and Equation 4. \[ (9 \sin^2 P + 16 \cos^2 Q + 24 \sin P \cos Q) + (16 \sin^2 Q + 9 \cos^2 P + 24 \sin Q \cos P) = 36 + 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9 (\sin^2 P + \cos^2 P) + 16 (\sin^2 Q + \cos^2 Q) + 24 (\sin P \cos Q + \sin Q \cos P) = 37 \] ### Step 3: Use Pythagorean identity Using the Pythagorean identity \( \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \): \[ 9(1) + 16(1) + 24(\sin P \cos Q + \sin Q \cos P) = 37 \] This simplifies to: \[ 25 + 24(\sin P \cos Q + \sin Q \cos P) = 37 \] ### Step 4: Solve for sine terms Subtract 25 from both sides: \[ 24(\sin P \cos Q + \sin Q \cos P) = 12 \] Dividing by 24: \[ \sin P \cos Q + \sin Q \cos P = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 5: Use sine addition formula Using the sine addition formula: \[ \sin(P + Q) = \sin P \cos Q + \cos P \sin Q \] We have: \[ \sin(P + Q) = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 6: Determine angles The angles for which \( \sin(P + Q) = \frac{1}{2} \) are: \[ P + Q = 30^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad P + Q = 150^\circ \] ### Step 7: Find angle R Since \( P + Q + R = 180^\circ \): 1. If \( P + Q = 30^\circ \), then \( R = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ \) (not possible since angles in a triangle must be less than 180°). 2. If \( P + Q = 150^\circ \), then \( R = 180^\circ - 150^\circ = 30^\circ \). ### Step 8: Convert to radians Convert \( R \) to radians: \[ R = 30^\circ = \frac{\pi}{6} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the angle \( R \) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{\pi}{6}} \]
