Three observation posts P,Q and R are such that Q is due east of P and R is due north of Q. If |PQ| = 5km and |PR| = 10km, find |QR|

A.

5.0km

B.

7.5km

C.

7.6km

D.

8.7km

Correct answer is D

\((PR)^2 = (PQ)^2 + (QR)^2\)

\(10^2 = 5^2 + (QR)^2\)

\((QR)^2 = 100 - 25\)

\(QR = \sqrt{75}\)

= \(8.660\)

\(\approxeq\) 8.7 km

Given that sin \(P = \frac{5}{13}\), where p is acute, find the value of cos p - tan p

A.

\(\frac{79}{156}\)

B.

\(\frac{85}{156}\)

C.

\(\frac{7}{13}\)

D.

\(\frac{8}{1}\)

Correct answer is A

If \(sin P = \frac{5}{13}\) from right angled triangle from pythagoras theorem
\(BC^2 = 13^2 - 5^2\\
=169-25\\
BC = \sqrt{144} = 12\\
∴ cos P - tan P = \frac{12}{13} - \frac{5}{12}\\
=\frac{79}{156}\)
