    My method: Let z = base of triangle. Then tan x = 2y/z and tan 2x = z/3y. Use the double angle formula to convert tan 2x to [2(2y/z]/[1 - (2y/z)^2]. Equate all this to z/3y, and simplify. Eventually, you get 4y = z. Put this back in my first equation to get tan x = 2y/4y = 1/2. So x = arctan 1/2 = 26.565.

    AB = k; tan⁡(x) = 2y/k
    tan⁡(2x) = k/3y = (2tan⁡(x))/(1 - tan^2(x)) =
    (4y/k)/(1/k^2 )(k^2 - 4y^2) = 4yk/(k^2 - 4y^2 ) → 16y^2 = k^2 → k = 4y → BD = 2y√5
    sin⁡(x) = AD/BD = √5/5 → x ≈ 26,565°

    Well done! Constructing ΔAEB congruent to ΔADB with shared side AB and determining that ΔECB is isosceles is the key to PreMath's streamlined solution to the problem. A minor change at the end: PreMath obtained the value of 2x from trigonometry and divided by 2. You can compute x directly. length AD = 2y and length AB = 4y, so tan(x) = (2y)/(4y) = 0.5. When I compute arctan(0.5) to 2 decimal places, I get x = 26.57°, as PreMath did.

    My method:
    Side opposite to x = 2y
    .•. Side opposite to 2x =4y
    .•. AB = 4y
    In Triangle DAB
    Tan theta = Opposite side/Adjacent side
    .•. tan x = 2y/4y
    .•. tan x = 1/2
    If tan theta = 1/2
    then theta = 26.57°
    .•.x = 26.57°

    My method:
    Let base = h, where h=3y•tan2x
    Then one hypotenuse will be √(h²+9y²) and another one will be √(h²+4y²). Consider the scalene triangle in the upper part. Area of the triangle is ½•(product of two sides)•(sine of the angle between them). Take two products, that is ½y√(h²+9y²)sin2x and ½y√(h²+4y²)sin(90+x), which give the area of the scalene triangle. Then equate them and and simplify (using 1+tan²θ=sec²θ, quadratic equation, etc). Finally we will get x=½cos-¹(3/5)≈26.57°

    Here's a trigonometric solution:
    Let AB = a, as you did. then tan x = 2y/a and tan 2x = a/3y. But tan 2x = (2tanx)/(1 -- tan^2 x) so
    (2)(2y/a)/(1 -- 4y^2/a^2) = a/3y; cross-multiplying, taking common denominators, and simplifying (details omitted), we eventually get a = 4y, as you did. Then
    x = arctan (2y/4y) = arctan (1/2) = 26.57 degrees.
    Cheers. 🤠

  • @Jop_pop
    @Jop_pop Рік тому

    Another solution: Since no length is given, assume y=1. Let z=AB. Then
    ztan(x)=2
    z/tan(2x)=3
    Divide these to get
    tan(x)tan(2x)=2/3
    And note that tan(2x)=2tan(x)/(1-tan^2(x)).
    Let t stand for tan(x). Then
    2t^2/(1-t^2)=2/3. So
    3t^2=1-t^2, so
    4t^2=1 and thus
    t=0.5
    So x=arctan(0.5) because t=tan(x)

    This is how I did it:
    a equals the length of segment AB.
    2y/a=tan(x)
    2y=a(tan(x))
    y=a(tan(x))/2
    a/3y=tan(2x)
    3y/a=1/tan(2x)
    3y=a/tan(2x)
    y=a/3tan(2x)
    a(tan(x))/2)=a/3tan(2x)
    tan(x)/2=1/3tan(2x)
    tan(x)=2/3tan(2x)
    tan(x)tan(2x)=2/3
    tan(2x)=(2/3)*(1/tan(x))
    tan(2x)=(2/3)*(cos(x)/sin(x))
    tan(2x)=2cos(x)/3sin(x)
    sin(2x)/cos(2x)=2cos(x)/3sin(x)
    2sin(x)cos(x)/cos(2x)=2cos(x)/3sin(x)
    sin(x)/cos(2x)=1/3sin(x)
    sin(x)=cos(2x)/3sin(x)
    3sin^2(x)=cos(2x)
    5sin^2(x)-2sin^2(x)=cos(2x)
    5sin^2(x)-2sin^2(x)=1-2sin^2(x)
    5sin^2(x)=1
    sin^2(x)=1/5
    2sin^2(x)=2/5
    -2sin^2(x)=-2/5
    1-2sin^2(x)=3/5
    cos(2x)=3/5
    2x=cos^-1(3/5)
    x=cos^-1(3/5)/2
    x=26.565deg

    Tan2X = a/3y

    = 2Tan²X/(1 - Tan²X)

      with trig yes, let AB = a; then tan⁡(x) = 2y/a , also tan⁡(2x) = a/3y
      The Tan(2x ) identity = 2tan⁡(x))/(1 - tan^2(x)) =
      You can use tan (2x) formula and find the segment AB

    Here is my solution:
    In △ABC, tan 2x = AB/AC = AB/(3y) → AB/y = 3 tan 2x
    In △ABD, tan x = AD/AB = 2y/AB → AB/y = 2 / tan x
    3 tan 2x = 2 / tan x
    3 * 2 tan x / (1 − tan²x) = 2 / tan x
    3 tan x / (1 − tan²x) = 1 / tan x
    3 tan²x = 1 − tan²x
    4 tan²x = 1
    tan²x = 1/4
    tan x = 1/2
    x ≈ 26.565°
