Answer:

  1. see below for a sketch
  2. 12 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance can be calculated using the Law of Cosines. The angle internal to the triangle at Q is (180°-(146° -65°)) = 99°. Then the distance PR can be found from ...

  PR² = PQ² +QR² -2·PQ·QR·cos(∠PQR)

  PR² = 6² +10² -2·6·10·cos(99°) ≈ 154.77

  PR ≈ √154.77 ≈ 12.44 . . . . km

The distance PR is about 12 km.
