Explain the last line of solution in detail.

Question:

  In the given figure,  Δ   PQR is drawn such that PQ is tangent to a circle whose radius is 10 cm. QR passes through centre of the circle. Point R lies on the circle. If QR=36 cm, then what is the area (in  cm2   ) of  Δ   PQR.      

Options:
A)

     134.5

B)

     148

C)

     166.15

D)

     180

Solution:

QO=QR-OR=36-10=26cm,PQ=OQ2-OP2=262-102=24cmIn ΔOPQ,sin(OQP)=OPOQ=1026=513Area of ΔPQR=12×QP×QR×sin(PQR)=12×24×36×513=166.15
