In the diagram, TX is perpendicular to UW, |UX| = 1cm and |TX| = |WX| = (sqrt{3})cm. Find UTW
-
A.
135o -
B.
105o -
C.
75o -
D.
60o
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
In (Delta) UXT, tan(alpha) = (frac{1}{sqrt{3}})
(alpha) = tan-1((frac{1}{sqrt{3}}))
= 30o
In (Delta)WXT, tan(beta) (frac{sqrt{3}}{sqrt{3}}) = 1
(beta) = tan-1(1) = 45o
Hence,
= 30o + 45o = 75o
