.(a) In APQR, ∠PQR= 90°. If its area is 216cm\(^2\) and |PQ|:|QR| is 3:4, find |PR|.

(b) The present ages of a man and his son are 47 years and 17 years respectively. In how many years would the man's age be twice that of his son?

Explanation

(a) \(\frac{1}{2}\)IPQ||gr|= 216

\(\frac{|PQ|}{|QR|}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)

PQ= \(\frac{3}{4}\)

\(\frac{1}{2}\) * \(\frac{3}{4}\)|QR|||QR| = 216

|QR|\(^2\) = \(\frac{216 * 4 * 2}{3}\)

|QR|= √576 = 24cm

|PQ| =\(\frac{3}{4}\) x 24 =18cm

|PR| = √(24\(^2\) + 18\(^2\)) = 30cm

(b) Let m be the number of years:

47 + m =2(17+m)

47 + m = 34 + 2m

2m - m = 47 - 34

m = 13 years
