In the diagram, TX is perpendicular to UW, |UX| = 1cm and |TX| = |WX|…

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
