Anybody know how to do this? If so please help me!? Stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't -__-

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

hint: angle TUW = angle VUW

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Nice agent0smith!

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Good very good! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TUV = 66 degrees?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Correct!
