It doesn't -__-
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
hint: angle TUW = angle VUW
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
Nice agent0smith!
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
Good very good! :D

out of curiosity, why is that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so x = 4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then what?
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
@Chelsea04 I think you have to make some assumptions here, like TV is orthogonal to UW and TC = CV. Then TUC and VUC make right triangles that are congruent.
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
Well if TUVW is a kite it would have to have both angles equal to each other like you assumed agent0smith

^ exactly.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, I get it :)
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
We just have to assume it's a kite, though... you can't actually be sure w/o some proof, which they annoyingly don't give.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right, got it
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
@Foreverisabell now you have x, notice that TUV = TUW + VUW

But isn't TUV way smaller then TUW and VUW?
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
We're talking about the angles here. Not lengths.
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
angle TUV = angle TUW + angle VUW
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, alright.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So first I need to plug in x into TUW AND VUW

Correct. They'll be the same anyway, angles TUW and VUW.
