Question

Solve the mathematics question:A town Q is on a bearing of 210 from P; R is another town on a bearing of 150 from P is east of Q.The distance between R and P is 10 km.Find the distance between R and Q.

Answer 1

Solve The question.

Answer 2

I made a sketch and in my triangle PQR , I have angle P = 60°, and PR = 10
That is not enough information, you need 3 bits of independent info.
Perhaps another angle or a side ?

Answer 3

since R is directly east of P, triangle PQR is equilateral, because the angle between PQ and PR is 60°, bisected by the N-S line. So RQ = 10

Answer 4

I think the wording is rather ambiguous, oobleck interpreted it as P is directly east of Q.
I read it that P is to the right of Q, in a generally eastern direction.
