8. In ΔPQR shown below, r = 8 meters, p = 10 meters, and the measure of ∠Q is 120°. The solution of which of the following equations gives the length q in meters?

Math10 4

(Note: For a triangle with sides of length a, b, and c that are opposite angles ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C, respectively, ​\( \frac{sin∠A}{a}=\frac{sin∠B}{b}=\frac{sin∠C}{c} \)​ and c² = a² + b² − 2ab cos∠C.)
