In the diagram, QRT is a straight line. If angle PTR = 90°, angle PRT = 60°, angle PQR = 30° and |PQ| = \(6\sqrt{3}cm\), calculate |RT|

In the diagram, QRT is a straight line. If angle PTR = 90°, angle PRT = 60°, angle PQR = 30° and |PQ| = 63cm, calculate |RT|

A.

0.3cm

B.

32cm

C.

3cm

D.

33cm

Correct answer is C

In Δ QPT,

\frac{PT}{6\sqrt{3}} = \sin 30°

PT = 6\sqrt{3} \times \frac{1}{2} = 3\sqrt{3} cm

In \Delta RPT,

\frac{PT}{RT} = \tan 60°

\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{RT} = \tan 60°

RT = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = 3 cm
