In ΔUVW measure of angle V is 90°. If tanU = $$\frac{{12}}{5}$$ and UV = 10 cm, then what is the length (in cm.) of side VW?
A. 26
B. 24
C. 25
D. 5
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & \tan U = \frac{{VW}}{{UV}} \cr & \frac{{12}}{5} = \frac{{VW}}{{10}} \cr & VW = \frac{{12}}{5} \times 10 = 24{\text{ cm}} \cr} $$
