Question

If someone could answer this problem and explain how to do it that would be a HUGE help thanks-

Answer 1

C. 10 meters

Explanation:

sin(30) = QR/QP

½ = 10/QP

QP = 20

PS = ½ × 20

PS = 10

Answer 2

10 meters

Explanation:

The triangles are similar, by a scale factor of 2, so if QR is 10, then ST is 1/2 or 5

We can use trig functions to find SP

sin P = opp/ hyp

sin 30 =5/SP

SP sin 30 =5

Divide each side by sin 30

SP = 5 / sin 30

SP =10
