Answer:
AB= 0.625 units (3 s.f.)
∠BAC= 52.9° (1 d.p.)
∠ABC= 32.1° (1 d.p.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached pictures for full solution.
- Find AB using cosine rule
- find ∠BAC using sine rule
- find ∠ABC using angle sum of triangle property
QP=24 cm
RS=11.25 cm
QS=18.75 cm
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given that TQ bisects <RTP
(1)
consider ΔRQS and ΔRPT
QS||PT,RP and RT are transversals
(alternate angles)(2)
comparing (1) and (2)
and triangle SQT is isocelus
Therefore SQ=ST(sides opposite to equal angles in an isocelus triangle)
Therefore <RQS=<RPT(corresponding angles)
<RSQ=<RTP(corresponding angles)
therefore by AA criterion for similarity
ΔRQS~ΔRPT
According to the property of similar triangles
