Hey everyone, 

 

I dont want this problem to be solved, I want to do it myself but I'm stuck in one part, because apperently I don't know something :). 

 

So here it goes...

 

I managed to solve for A, B , C and D. And now By having this information I need to solve for E and F.

All those 3 angles adds up to 180 degrees, and both Alpha and Beta are no more than 90 degrees. 

How do I solve for last tan if I have those 2 ? Any rule I'm missing out?

ok so you have found that

A=2

B=1

C=1

D=1

now from the pic if you mark all the things you are givein you can see that

\(\theta=180-(\beta+\alpha)\\ so\\ tan\theta=tan(180-(\beta+\alpha))\\ tan\theta=-tan(\beta+\alpha)\\\)

 

Now use the expansion for tan(beta+alpha) and you will get tan theta.     

 

I think that is all you want me to help you with. :)

 

If you decide you wantr more help then just ask :)

umm sorry for not finishing the post properly, I'll just post enire question . 

 

As I said, I'm pretty sure I can do this on my own, I just need a hint on the part I've posted above.

 

If anyone interested it's from math test to get schoolarship to study natural sciences or math in Japan.
