Question 6 of 25

In APQR, m P= 60°, m_ Q = 30°, and m2 R = 90°. Which of the following
statements about APQR are true?
Check all that apply.

Answer 1

A, E, F

Explanation:

From the angles given, we can infer that ΔPQR is a 30-60-90 special triangle. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the leg opposite the 30 degree angle is 1/2 the hypotenuse and the leg opposite the 60 degree angle is √3 times the one opposite the 30. Using this, we can say:

PR = 1/2 PQ which is just 2 PR = PQ(E)

PR √3 = QR (A)

We can substitute in PR from the first equation to the second to get:

√3/2 PQ = QR(F)
