Step-by-step Solution

1. Interpret the Given Information

The question provides information about a triangle PQR. Let's use standard notation where sides opposite to vertices P, Q, R are denoted by p, q, r respectively.

  • The phrase "In a Δ\DeltaΔ PQR = 30 ∘^\circ∘" is poorly formatted but standard interpretation in this context is that one of the angles is 30∘^{\circ}∘. The most likely intended angle is ∠PQR\angle PQR∠PQR, the angle at vertex Q. So, we assume ∠Q=30∘\angle Q = 30^\circ∠Q=30∘.
  • Side PQ is the side connecting vertices P and Q. In standard notation, this is side r. So, r=103r = 10\sqrt{3}r=103​.
  • Side QR is the side connecting vertices Q and R. In standard notation, this is side p. So, p=10p = 10p=10.

So we have a triangle with two sides and the included angle (SAS case): p=10p=10p=10, r=103r=10\sqrt{3}r=103​, and ∠Q=30∘\angle Q = 30^\circ∠Q=30∘. This defines a unique triangle.

2. Calculate the Third Side (PR = q)

We can use the Law of Cosines to find the length of the side q (PR): q2=p2+r2−2prcos⁡Qq^2 = p^2 + r^2 - 2pr \cos Qq2=p2+r2−2prcosQ Substituting the given values: q2=(10)2+(103)2−2(10)(103)cos⁡30∘q^2 = (10)^2 + (10\sqrt{3})^2 - 2(10)(10\sqrt{3}) \cos 30^\circq2=(10)2+(103​)2−2(10)(103​)cos30∘ q2=100+100(3)−2003(32)q^2 = 100 + 100(3) - 200\sqrt{3} \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)q2=100+100(3)−2003​(23​​) q2=100+300−100(3)q^2 = 100 + 300 - 100(3)q2=100+300−100(3) q2=400−300=100q^2 = 400 - 300 = 100q2=400−300=100 q=100=10q = \sqrt{100} = 10q=100​=10 So, the length of side PR is 10.

3. Calculate the Remaining Angles (/angleP\\/angle P/angleP and /angleR\\/angle R/angleR)

The sides of the triangle are p=10p=10p=10, q=10q=10q=10, and r=103r=10\sqrt{3}r=103​. Since sides ppp and qqq are equal (p=q=10p=q=10p=q=10), the triangle is isosceles. The angles opposite to these equal sides must also be equal.

  • Angle opposite to side p (QR) is ∠P\angle P∠P (or ∠QPR\angle QPR∠QPR).
  • Angle opposite to side q (PR) is ∠Q\angle Q∠Q (or ∠PQR\angle PQR∠PQR). Therefore, ∠P=∠Q\angle P = \angle Q∠P=∠Q. Since we are given ∠Q=30∘\angle Q = 30^\circ∠Q=30∘, it follows that ∠P=30∘\angle P = 30^\circ∠P=30∘.

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ180∘. So, we can find ∠R\angle R∠R (or ∠QRP\angle QRP∠QRP): ∠R=180∘−(∠P+∠Q)\angle R = 180^\circ - (\angle P + \angle Q)∠R=180∘−(∠P+∠Q) ∠R=180∘−(30∘+30∘)=180∘−60∘=120∘\angle R = 180^\circ - (30^\circ + 30^\circ) = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ∠R=180∘−(30∘+30∘)=180∘−60∘=120∘

Summary of triangle properties:

  • Sides: p=10p=10p=10, q=10q=10q=10, r=103r=10\sqrt{3}r=103​
  • Angles: ∠P=30∘\angle P = 30^\circ∠P=30∘, ∠Q=30∘\angle Q = 30^\circ∠Q=30∘, ∠R=120∘\angle R = 120^\circ∠R=120∘

4. Evaluate Each Option

A: ∠QPR=45∘\angle QPR = 45^\circ∠QPR=45∘ ∠QPR\angle QPR∠QPR is the angle at vertex P. We found ∠P=30∘\angle P = 30^\circ∠P=30∘. Since 30∘≠45∘30^\circ \neq 45^\circ30∘=45∘, this statement is FALSE.

B: The area of the ΔPQR\Delta PQRΔPQR is 25325\sqrt 3253​ and ∠QRP=120∘\angle QRP = 120^\circ∠QRP=120∘ First part: ∠QRP\angle QRP∠QRP is the angle at vertex R. We found ∠R=120∘\angle R = 120^\circ∠R=120∘. This is correct. Second part: The area of the triangle can be calculated using the formula Area = 12prsin⁡Q\frac{1}{2}pr \sin Q21​prsinQ. Area=12(10)(103)sin⁡30∘=12(1003)(12)=253\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}(10)(10\sqrt{3}) \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}(100\sqrt{3})\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 25\sqrt{3}Area=21​(10)(103​)sin30∘=21​(1003​)(21​)=253​This is also correct. Since both parts of the statement are true, option B is TRUE.

C: The radius of the incircle of the ΔPQR\Delta PQRΔPQR is 103−1510\sqrt 3 - 15103​−15 The radius of the incircle (rinr_{in}rin​) is given by the formula rin=Areasr_{in} = \frac{\text{Area}}{s}rin​=sArea​, where sss is the semi-perimeter. First, calculate the semi-perimeter sss: s=p+q+r2=10+10+1032=20+1032=10+53s = \frac{p+q+r}{2} = \frac{10+10+10\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{20+10\sqrt{3}}{2} = 10+5\sqrt{3}s=2p+q+r​=210+10+103​​=220+103​​=10+53​ Now, calculate the inradius: rin=25310+53=2535(2+3)=532+3r_{in} = \frac{25\sqrt{3}}{10+5\sqrt{3}} = \frac{25\sqrt{3}}{5(2+\sqrt{3})} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}rin​=10+53​253​​=5(2+3​)253​​=2+3​53​​ To simplify, rationalize the denominator: rin=53(2−3)(2+3)(2−3)=103−5(3)22−(3)2=103−154−3=103−15r_{in} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}(2-\sqrt{3})}{(2+\sqrt{3})(2-\sqrt{3})} = \frac{10\sqrt{3} - 5(3)}{2^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2} = \frac{10\sqrt{3}-15}{4-3} = 10\sqrt{3}-15rin​=(2+3​)(2−3​)53​(2−3​)​=22−(3​)2103​−5(3)​=4−3103​−15​=103​−15 This statement is TRUE.

D: The area of the circumcircle of the ΔPQR\Delta PQRΔPQR is 100 π\piπ The radius of the circumcircle (RcircR_{circ}Rcirc​) can be found using the Law of Sines: 2Rcirc=asin⁡A2R_{circ} = \frac{a}{\sin A}2Rcirc​=sinAa​. Using side q and angle Q: 2Rcirc=qsin⁡Q=10sin⁡30∘=101/2=202R_{circ} = \frac{q}{\sin Q} = \frac{10}{\sin 30^\circ} = \frac{10}{1/2} = 202Rcirc​=sinQq​=sin30∘10​=1/210​=20 Rcirc=10R_{circ} = 10Rcirc​=10 The area of the circumcircle is πRcirc2\pi R_{circ}^2πRcirc2​. Area=π(10)2=100π\text{Area} = \pi (10)^2 = 100\piArea=π(10)2=100π This statement is TRUE.

Conclusion Based on the analysis, statements B, C, and D are true.
