Let and be acute angles measured counterclockwise from the positive -axis. If the point lies on the terminal side of angle and the point lies on the terminal side of angle , where , then the value of is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
From the given coordinates, the tangent of the angles can be found using .
For angle , the point is , so:
For angle , the point is , so:
Using the tangent addition formula:
Substitute the values of and :
Since , we have and , which means and .
Therefore, .
Since and is in the first quadrant, we get .
