Determine if it is possible to draw ∆PQR with side PQ=11cm,QR=5cm,PR=5cm |
|
Answer» ong>Answer: In a TRIANGLE PQR, PQ =8cm and QR= 7CM. The area of the triangle is 17cm^ 2. Calculate the two possible values of Area of PQR = (PQ*QR/2)*sin PQR, or 17 = (8*7/2)*sin PQR, or sin PQR = 17*2/(8*7) = 0.607142857, or We can find PR^2 = PQ^2+QR^2–2*PQ*QR cos PQR = 8^2+7^2–2*8*7*cos 37.38319842 = 64+49–112*0.794592695 = 113–88.99438184 = 24.00561816, or PR = 4.899552853 cm Area of PQR = 17 = (QR*QR/2)*sin PRQ =(7*4.899552853/2)*sin PRQ, or sin PRQ = 17/(7*4.899552853/2) = 0.991344108 Another value of |
