Question

In the right triangle shown,

m
V
= 60° and UV = 18.
60°
How long is UW?

Answer 1

GUYS THE ANSWER IS 9 SQUARE ROOT 3 I JUST DID KHAN

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

There are two case I used, since we are not give diagram, so I assumed that U can be the right angle and also assume that W can be the right angle so, I used both assumption to solve, check attachment

1. Using Trigonometry

Assuming that U is the right angle

Tan θ = opp / adj

Tan 60 = UW / UV

Tan 60 = UW / 18

UW = 18 × Tan60

UW = 18 × √3

UW = 18√3

UW = 31.18 unit

Also, assume that W is right angle

Using trigonometry

Sinθ = opp / hyp

Sin60 = UW / UV

Sin60 = UW / 18

UW = 18 × sin60

UW = 18 × √3/2

UW = 9√3

UW = 15.59 unit
