- A45°
- B30°
- C60°
- D90°
Step-by-Step Solution
tan(A + B) = (tanA + tanB)/(1 − tanA·tanB) = (1/2 + 1/3)/(1 − 1/6) = (5/6)/(5/6) = 1, and since A ≈ 26.6° and B ≈ 18.4°, the sum is the acute angle 45°. Adding the tangents alone gives 5/6, whose angle is about 39.8° — no listed value; and the pair would be complementary (90°) only if tanA·tanB = 1, whereas here that product is 1/6.
Answer: A) 45°
