Question 15

Question.  15

15. Area of triangle PQR is 100 cm² (Fig. 9.20). If altitude QT is 10 cm, then its base PR is

(a)

(a) 20 cm

(b)

(b) 15 cm

(c)

(c) 10 cm

(d)

(d) 5 cm

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Area = \( \tfrac{1}{2} \times PR \times QT = 100\).

\( \tfrac{1}{2} \times PR \times 10 = 100 \implies PR = 20 \, cm \).
