In $\triangle P Q R$, if $PQ=10\ cm$, $QR=8\ cm$ and $PR=6\ cm$ then find $\angle R=?$


Given: In $\triangle P Q R$, if $PQ=10\ cm$, $QR=8\ cm$ and $PR=6\ cm$.

To do: To find $\angle R=?$

Solution:

As given, in $\triangle P Q R$, if $PQ=10\ cm$, $QR=8\ cm$ and $PR=6\ cm$.

On squaring $PQ,\ QR$ and $PR$.

$PQ^2=10^2=100$

$QR^2=8^2=64$

And $PR^2=6^2=36$

Here we find, $PQ^2=QR^2+PR^2=36+64=100$

It is Pythagorean triplets.

Therefore, $\triangle P Q R$ is a right angled triangle at $R$.

Thus, $\angle R$ is $90^{\circ}$.
