OK here goes
tan80=QR/RS
tan80=QR/2
QR=11.34cm
points please :-)

QR/RS = tan 80°
QR = RS tan 80° = 2 cm • tan 80° = 11.34256364... cm
QR ≈ 11.34 cm
None of the answers is correct. The closest choice is 12 cm, but that's not very close.

tangent of 80 = QR / 2 cm...
use a calculator and remember the basic sine, cosine, tangent relationships in a triangle.
good luck
