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
