To determine which statement(s) are true for the triangle PQR, let us denote the sides opposite to the vertices P,Q, and R as p,q, and r (or using the given notation, a=QR=10, b=PR, and c=PQ=103).
Step 1: Finding the third side PR and angles
Using the Law of Cosines for △PQR at vertex Q:
PR2=PQ2+QR2−2(PQ)(QR)cos(∠PQR)
Substituting the given values ∠PQR=30∘, PQ=103, and QR=10:
PR2=(103)2+102−2(103)(10)cos30∘PR2=300+100−2003(23)PR2=400−300=100⟹PR=10
Since PR=QR=10, the triangle PQR is isosceles with ∠QPR=∠PQR.
∠QPR=30∘
The third angle ∠QRP is:
∠QRP=180∘−(30∘+30∘)=120∘
Option (A):∠QPR=45∘ is FALSE (as ∠QPR=30∘).
Step 2: Area of △PQR
The area (Δ) of △PQR is given by:
Δ=21⋅PQ⋅QR⋅sin(∠PQR)Δ=21⋅(103)⋅(10)⋅sin30∘=503⋅21=253
Since the area is 253 and ∠QRP=120∘:
Option (B): is TRUE.
Step 3: Inradius (r) of △PQR
The semi-perimeter s of the triangle is:
s=2PQ+QR+PR=2103+10+10=10+53
The inradius r is given by:
r=sΔ=10+53253=2+353
Rationalizing the denominator:
r=53(2−3)=103−15
Option (C): is TRUE.
Step 4: Circumradius (R) and Area of Circumcircle
Using the Sine Rule:
2R=sin(∠PQR)PR=sin30∘10=1/210=20⟹R=10
The area of the circumcircle is:
Area=πR2=π(10)2=100π
