Answer:

66.42°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

A(5, 3t+2, 2)

B(1, 3t, 2)

C(1, 4t, 3)

BA • BC = 4

Step 1: Find t.

First we have to find vectors BA and BC. We do that by subtracting the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point.

In vector BA B is the initial point and A is the terminal point.

BA = OA - OB = (5-1, 3t+2-3t, 2-2) = (4, 2, 0)

BC = OC - OB = (1-1, 4t-3t, 3-2) = (0, t, 1)

Now we can find t because we know that BA • BC = 4

BA • BC = 4

To find dot product we calculate the sum of the produts of the corresponding components.

BA • BC = (4)(0) + (2)(t) + (0)(1)

4 = (4)(0) + (2)(t) + (0)(1)

4 = 0 + 2t + 0

4 = 2t

2 = t

t = 2

Now we know that:

BA = (4, 2, 0)

BC = (0, 2, 1)

Step 2: Find the angle ∠ABC.

Dot product: a • b = |a| |b| cos(angle)

BA • BC = 4

|BA| |BC| cos(angle) = 4

To get magnitudes we square each compoment of the vector and sum them together. Then square root.

|BA| = \sqrt{4^2 + 2^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}

|BC| = \sqrt{0^2 + 2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{5}

2\sqrt{5}\sqrt{5}\cos{(m\angle{ABC})} = 4

10\cos{(m\angle{ABC})} = 4

\cos(m\angle{ABC}) = \frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

m\angle{ABC} = cos^{-1}{(\frac{2}{5})}

m\angle{ABC} = 66.4218^{\circ}

Rounded to two decimal places:

m\angle{ABC} = 66.42^\circ

WHATS THE AREA OF THE TRAPIZOID?!
Helen [10]

Answer: 45.. i think.

Step-by-step explanation: I couldn't really get the measurements from this photo so here is what I got. I used the formula A=a+b over 2 times h. I used 7=a, b=11,h=5. I added 7 and 11 to get 18, then divide that by 2, which equals 9. Then 9 times 5 = 45. I hope this somewhat helps.

1. What is a perfect square? 2. What is the square root of 4x²? 3. What is the square root of 25? 4. Factor 4x² + 20x + 25.
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A perfect square is a whole number which is a product of a smaller whole number and itself. Examples of perfect squares are

4(2 × 2)

9(3 × 3)

16(4 × 4)

25(5 × 5)

36(6 × 6)

2) Square root of 4x² is 2x(product of square root of 4 and square root of x²)

3) square of 25 is 5

4) 4x² + 20x + 25

The general formula for solving quadratic equations is expressed as

x = [- b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

From the equation given,

a = 4

b = 20

c = 25

Therefore,

x = [- 20 ± √(20² - 4 × 4 × 25)]/2 × 4

x = [- 20 ± √(400 - 400)]/8

x = [- 20 ± 0]/8

x = - 20/8

x = - 2.5
