Solution

`{:("PM = 10 cm"), ("A(∆PQS) = 100 sq.cm"), ("A(∆QRS) = 110 sq.cm"):}   }"Given"`

Now,

In ∆PQS and ∆QRS,

seg QS is common base of ∆PQS and ∆QRS.

∴ `"A(∆PQS)"/"A(∆QRS)" = "PM"/"NR"`   ...(Triangles having equal base)

∴ `100/110 = 10/"NR"`

∴ `"NR" = (110 × 10)/100`

∴ NR = 11 cm

In the figure, PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC. To find the ratio of A(ΔPQB) and A(ΔPBC), complete the following activity.


Given: PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC

Now, A(ΔPQB)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

A(ΔPBC)  = `1/2 xx square xx square`

Therefore, 

`(A(ΔPQB))/(A(ΔPBC)) = (1/2 xx square xx square)/(1/2 xx square xx square)`

= `square/square`
