16

Answer:
PQ = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
cos60° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], then
cos60° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{RQ}{PQ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{PQ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
PQ = 8 × 2 = 16
