In the diagram, |QR| = 5cm, PQR = 60<sup>o</sup> and PSR = 45<sup>o</sup>. Find |PS|, leaving your answe in surd form.
4\(\sqrt{5}\)cm
3\(\sqrt{7}\)cm
4\(\sqrt{6}\)cm
5\(\sqrt{6}\)cm
Correct answer is D
tan 6o = \(\frac{|PR|}{|QR|}\)
\(\sqrt{3} = \frac{|PR|}{5}\)
= |PR| = \(5 \sqrt{3}\)cm
sin 45 = \(\frac{|PR|}{|PS|}\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) = \(\frac{5 \sqrt{3}}{|PS|}\)
|PS| = \(5 \sqrt{3}\) x \(\sqrt{2}\)
= 5\(\sqrt{6}\)cm
