Hi there, \n" ); document.write( "If the size of PQ and PR = x \n" ); document.write( "Area = 1/2 q*r*sin(40) \n" ); document.write( "240 = 1/2 x * x * sin(40) \n" ); document.write( "240 = 1/2 x^2 sin(40) \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 2 \n" ); document.write( "480 = x^2sin(40) \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by sin(40) \n" ); document.write( "480/sin(40) = x^2 \n" ); document.write( "x = √480/sin(40) \n" ); document.write( "x = 27.3cm \n" ); document.write( "PR = PQ = 27.3cm \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
