In the diagram above PQ 10 cm PS 8 cm and PSR i... - JAMB Mathematics 2006 Question

In the diagram above, PQ = 10 cm, PS = 8 cm and ∠PSR is 60o while ∠SRQ is a right angle. Find SR
A
14 cm
B
14√3 cm
C
10 cm
D
10√3 cm
correct option: a

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
