Step-by-step solution

  1. Find the third angle in triangle PQR.

    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠PQR=180∘−∠RPQ−∠QRP\angle PQR = 180^\circ - \angle RPQ - \angle QRP ∠PQR=180∘−60∘−50∘\angle PQR = 180^\circ - 60^\circ - 50^\circ ∠PQR=70∘\angle PQR = 70^\circ
  2. Apply the Sine Rule to find PQ.

    The Sine Rule states that for a triangle with sides p, q, r and opposite angles P, Q, R:

    psin⁡P=qsin⁡Q=rsin⁡R\frac{p}{\sin P} = \frac{q}{\sin Q} = \frac{r}{\sin R}

    In triangle PQR, we want to find side PQ (let's call it rr), and we know angle QRP (R). We also know side RP (let's call it qq) and angle PQR (Q).

    PQsin⁡(∠QRP)=RPsin⁡(∠PQR)\frac{PQ}{\sin(\angle QRP)} = \frac{RP}{\sin(\angle PQR)}

    Substitute the given values:

    PQsin⁡(50∘)=6.5sin⁡(70∘)\frac{PQ}{\sin(50^\circ)} = \frac{6.5}{\sin(70^\circ)}

    Solve for PQ:

    PQ=6.5×sin⁡(50∘)sin⁡(70∘)PQ = \frac{6.5 \times \sin(50^\circ)}{\sin(70^\circ)} PQ=6.5×0.76600.9397PQ = \frac{6.5 \times 0.7660}{0.9397} PQ=4.9790.9397PQ = \frac{4.979}{0.9397} PQ≈5.30 unitsPQ \approx 5.30 \text{ units}

    The length of PQ is approximately 5.30.
