In the diagram above, PQ = 10 cm, PS = 8 cm and ∠PSR is 60
o while ∠SRQ is a right angle. Find SR
-
A.
14 cm
-
B.
14√3 cm
-
C.
10 cm
-
D.
10√3 cm
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
In ΔPST; cos 60 =
ST/
8
ST = 8cos 60
ST = 8 x
1/
2 = 4
TR = 10 cm (opp. sides of a rectangle PQRT)
SR = ST + TR
SR = 4 + 10
SR = 14 cm
