In the diagram, TX is perpendicular to UW, |UX| = 1cm and |TX| = |WX| = 3cm. Find UTW
A
135o
B
105o
C
75o
D
60o
correct option: c

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, < UTW = (\alpha) + (\beta)

= 30o + 45o = 75o
