To solve the the question we proceed as follows:
From trigonometric laws
(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1
(cos y)^2+(sin y)^2=1
sin (x-y)=sin x sin y-sin y cos x
cos (x-y)=cos x cos y+ sin x sin y
si  x=8/17
cos x=sqrt(1-(sin x)^2)=sqrt(1-64/289)=sqrt(225/289)=15/17
cos y=3/5
sin x= sqrt(1- (cos x)^2)= sqrt(1-9/25)=sqrt(16/25)=4/5
thus
tan (x-y)=[sin (x-y)]/[cos (x-y)]
=[sin x cos y-sin y cos x]/[cos x cos y+sin x sin y]
plugging in the values we obtain:
[8/17 *3/5-4/5*15/7]/[15/17*3/5+8/17*4/5]
simplifying
[24/85-60/85]/[45/85+32/85]
=-36/77

Answer:

We conclude that segment QR is the shortest.

Hence, option B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine the missing angle m∠R

Given the triangle Δ∠PQR

m∠P = 48°

m∠Q = 83°

m∠R = ?

We know the sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

m∠P+m∠Q+m∠R = 180°

48°+83°+m∠R=180°

m∠R = 180° - 48° - 83°

m∠R = 49°

Thus, the value of m∠R = 49°

We know that the longest side in a triangle is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.

Here,

m∠P = 48° is the shortest angle.

As the side QR segment is opposite the smallest angle i.e. m∠P = 48°

Therefore, we conclude that segment QR is the shortest.

Hence, option B is true.

If I remember correctly perpendicular means right angle so I do not think it could be reversed.
