The following figure shows a circle with PR as its diameter. If PQ = 7 cm and QR = 3RS = 6 cm, find the perimeter of the cyclic quadrilateral PQRS.

उत्तर

In the figure, PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral in which PR is a diameter

PQ = 7 cm

QR = 3RS = 6 cm

3RS = 6 cm

RS = 2 cm

Now in ∆PQR,

∠Q = 90°   ...[Angles in a semi-circle]

∴ PR2 = PQ2 + QR2  ...[Pythagoras theorem]

= 72 + 62

= 49 + 36

= 85

Again in right ΔPSQ, 

PR2 = PS2 + RS2  

`=>` 85 = PS2 + 22

`=>` PS2 = 85 – 4 = 81 = (9)2

∴ PS = 9 cm

Now, perimeter of quad PQRS

= PQ + QR + RS + SP

= (7 + 9 + 2 + 6) cm

= 24
