Solution
From figure using the definition of sin
sin∠P = `"RQ"/"PQ"`
∴ sin30° = `"RQ"/12`
∴ `1/2 = "RQ"/12`
∴ RQ = 12/2 = 6 cm
∴ QR = 6 cm
sin∠Q = `"PR"/"PQ"`
∴ sin 60° = `"PR"/12`
∴ `sqrt(3)/2 = "PR"/12`
∴ PR = `(12sqrt(3))/2`
∴ PR = `6sqrt3` cm
Therefore PR = `6sqrt3` cm and QR = 6 cm

Prove that: (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ)
= `(1/square - cos θ) (square/square + square/square)` ......`[∵ sec θ = 1/square, cot θ = square/square and tan θ = square/square]`
= `((1 - square)/square) ((square + square)/(square square))`
= `square/square xx 1/(square square)` ......`[(∵ square + square = 1),(∴ square = 1 - square)]`
= `square/(square square)`
= tan θ.sec θ
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
