Answer:

The value of the RQ is 16 unit .

Option (B) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Now by using the trignometric identity

[tex]cos \theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

Base = RQ

Hypotenuse = PQ = 8 unit

[tex]\theta = 60^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]cos60^{\circ} = \frac{RQ}{PQ}[/tex]

[tex]cos60^{\circ} = \frac{RQ}{8}[/tex]

[tex]cos\ 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{2}=RQ[/tex]

RQ = 4

     = 4 unit

Therefore the value of the RQ is 4 unit .

Option (B) is correct .
