In the given fig, P and Q are points on the sides AB and AC respectively of such that AP = 3.5 cm, PB = 7 cm, AQ = 3 cm and QC = 6 cm. If PQ = 4.5 cm, find BC.
In the given Fig, PQ = 24 cm, QR = 26 cm, ∠PAR = 90°, PA = 6 cm, and AR = 8, cm. Find ∠QPR.
In right triangle APR, we have
AP = 6cm., AR = 8 cm., And, ∠A = 90°
∴ By using Converse of Pythagoras Theorem, We have
PR2 = AR2 + AP2
⇒ PR2 = 82 + 62
= 64 + 36 = 100
PR = 10 cm.
Now, in triangle PQR, we have
PQ = 24 cm., QR = 26 cm. and, PR = 10 cm.
Here, we have,
PQ2 + PR2 = (24)2 + (10)2
= 576 + 100 = 676 = QR2
Hence,
By Converse of Phythagoras Theorem ∠QPR = 90°
