Find the value of θ in the diagram

A.

60°

B.

100°

C.

120°

D.

30°

Correct Answer: 120°

Explanation

Using cosine formula (t√3)2 = t2 + t2 - 2t2 cosθ 3t2 = 2t2 - 2t2 cosθ = 2t2(1 - cosθ) 1 - cosθ = 3t2 / 2t2 = 3/2 cos = 1 - 3/2 = − 1/2 θ = cos-1(-1/2) = 120° and 240° N.B 0 ≥ θ 360

Using cosine formula (t√3)2 = t2 + t2 - 2t2 cosθ 3t2 = 2t2 - 2t2 cosθ = 2t2(1 - cosθ) 1 - cosθ = 3t2 / 2t2 = 3/2 cos = 1 - 3/2 = − 1/2 θ = cos-1(-1/2) = 120° and 240° N.B 0 ≥ θ 360
