Intervals Containing Value of Expression in Quadrilateral
Let PQRS be a quadrilateral in a plane, where QR=1, ∠PQR=∠QRS=70∘, ∠PQS=15∘ and ∠PRS=40∘. If ∠RPS=θ∘, PQ=α and PS=β, then the interval(s) that contain(s) the value of 4αβsinθ∘ is/are
To find the interval(s) containing the value of E=4αβsinθ∘, let us analyze the given quadrilateral PQRS step-by-step using trigonometric properties and geometry.
Step 1: Angles in △QRS
We are given:
QR=1
∠PQR=70∘ and ∠QRS=70∘
∠PQS=15∘
∠PRS=40∘
From the given angles:
∠SQR=∠PQR−∠PQS=70∘−15∘=55∘∠PRQ=∠QRS−∠PRS=70∘−40∘=30∘
In △QRS, the sum of angles is 180∘:
∠QSR=180∘−(∠SQR+∠QRS)=180∘−(55∘+70∘)=55∘
Since ∠SQR=∠QSR=55∘, △QRS is an isosceles triangle with:
RS=QR=1
Step 2: Apply Sine Rule in △PQR
In △PQR, the angles are:
∠PQR=70∘
∠PRQ=30∘
∠QPR=180∘−(70∘+30∘)=80∘
By the Sine Rule in △PQR:
sin(∠PRQ)PQ=sin(∠QPR)QR
Given PQ=α and QR=1:
sin30∘α=sin80∘1⟹α=sin80∘sin30∘=2cos10∘1
Step 3: Apply Sine Rule in △PRS
In △PRS:
∠PRS=40∘
∠RPS=θ∘
PS=β
RS=1
By the Sine Rule in △PRS:
sin(∠PRS)PS=sin(∠RPS)RSsin40∘β=sinθ∘1⟹βsinθ∘=sin40∘
Step 4: Evaluate the Expression E=4αβsinθ∘
Substituting the expressions for α and βsinθ∘:
E=4(2cos10∘1)sin40∘=cos10∘2sin40∘
We can simplify E using trigonometric identities:
E=cos10∘2sin(30∘+10∘)=cos10∘2(sin30∘cos10∘+cos30∘sin10∘)=1+3tan10∘
To determine the exact range of E, calculate E2:
E2=cos210∘4sin240∘=cos210∘2(1−cos80∘)=1−sin210∘2(1−sin10∘)=1+sin10∘2
