Find the value of \(\theta\) in the diagram

  • 60o
  • 100o
  • 120o checkmark
  • 30o

The correct answer is: C

Explanation

Using cosine formula (t\(\sqrt{3}\))2 = t2 + t2 - 2t2 cos\(\theta\)

3t2 = 2t2 - 2t2 cos\(\theta\) = 2t2(1 - cos\(\theta\))

1 - cos\(\theta\) = \(\frac{3t^2}{2t^2}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

cos = 1 - \(\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\theta\) = cos-1(-\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 120o and 240o

N.B 0 \(\geq\) \(\theta\) 360

There is an explanation video available .
