In the diagram QR 10m SR 8m lt QPS 30o lt QRP 9... - WAEC Mathematics 2012 Question

In the diagram, |QR| = 10m, |SR| = 8m

< QPS = 30o, < QRP = 90o and |PS| = x, Find x
A
1.32m
B
6.32m
C
9.32m
D
17.32
correct option: c

In right angled (\bigtriangleup)QPR

tan 30o = (\frac{10}{x + 8})

(x + 8) tan 30 = 10

x + 8 = (\frac{10}{0.5773})

x +8 = 17.3

x = 17.3 - 8

x = 9.32
