Properties of Triangles 3 Question 9

9. In a PQR, let PQR=30 and the sides PQ and QR have lengths 103 and 10 , respectively. Then, which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE? (2018 Adv)

(a) QPR=45

(b) The area of the PQR is 253 and QRP=120

(c) The radius of the incircle of the PQR is 10315

(d) The area of the circumcircle of the PQR is 100π

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 9. (b,c,d)

Solution:

  1. We have, In PQR

PQR=30PQ=103QR=10

By cosine rule

cos30=PQ2+QR2PR22PQQR32=300+100PR22003300=300+100PR2PR=10 Since, PR =QR=10QPR=30 and QRP=120 Area of PQR=12PQQRsin30=12×103×10×12=253

Radius of incircle of

ΔPQR= Area of PQR Semi - perimetre of ΔPQR

 i.e. r=Δs=253103+10+102=2535(3+2)r=53(23)=10315

and radius of circumcircle (R)=abc4Δ=103×10×104×253=10

Area of circumcircle of

ΔPQR=πR2=100π

Hence, option (b), (c) and (d) are correct answer.
