Given:

In ΔPQR, ∠Q = 90°, PQ = 8 cm and ∠PRQ = 45°. 

Concept used:

1. The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.

2. An isosceles triangle has both two equal sides and two equal angles.

Calculation:

F1 SSC Amit A 09-03-2023 D8

According to the concept,

∠QPR = 180° - 90° - 45° = 45°

So, ΔPQR is an isosceles right-angled triangle at Q and PR is the hypotenuse.

Hence, PQ = QR = 8 cm

∴ The length of QR is 8 cm.
