From the figure, calculate TH in centimeters

Assessment: JAMB UTME - Mathematics - 1993 Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

\frac{5}{\sqrt{3} + 1}

\frac{5}{\sqrt{3} - 1}

\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}

Answer Details

TH = tan 45 $^{\circ}$ , TH = QH

$\frac{T H}{5 + Q H}$ = tan 30 $^{\circ}$

TH = (b + QH) tan 30 $^{\circ}$

QH = 56 (5 + QH) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

QH(1 - $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ ) = $\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}$

QH = $\frac{5 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

= $\frac{5}{\sqrt{3} - 1}$
