उत्तर
Given, area of ΔPQR = 20 cm2 and area of ΔPQS = 44 cm2
We know that,
Area of triangle = `1/2` × Base × Height
∴ Area of ΔPQR = `1/2` × PQ × QR ...[∵ PQ ⊥ QR]
⇒ 20 = `1/2` × PQ × 5
⇒ `(20 xx 2)/5` = PQ ...[∵ QR = 5 cm, given]
⇒ PQ = 8 cm
∴ Area of ΔPQS = `1/2` × PQ × QS
⇒ 44 = `1/2` × 8 × QS
⇒ QS = `(44 xx 2)/8` ...[∵ PQ = 8 cm]
⇒ QS = 11 cm
Now, RS = QS – QR = 11 – 5 = 6 cm
