@ciara_xo It's C. Do you need the solution? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure that'd be nice !

@ciara_xo You need to remember to formulas if you're dealing with a 30-60-90 triangle.\[c=2a\]\[b=a ^{3}\]|dw:1368024353868:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean PQ*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
For the second question, since you know that PR is C in the diagram I drew and c=2a, 2 x 14 = 28. 28 is the answer. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
PQ is \[14\sqrt{3}\] and in decimal, that is 24.249. That's the answer.

wait im confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Why?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
|dw:1368024709639:dw|
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
sin 30 = 14/PR
PR = 14/sin 30
= 14/1/2
= 28
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
check if we have setup the 30-60-90 triangle correctly

It's alright not to use trigonometry. It's a special triangle after all. :)
