Answer:

  23.20°, 71.57°, 85.24°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between two vectors can be found by making use of the definition of the dot product. The computed angle is the angle between the  vectors when they are placed tail-to-tail.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

<u>vector definition</u>

The second attachment shows the given points plotted as A, B, C in the order given. In the diagram, the vectors <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em> are defined as BA, CB, AC, respectively. That is, the vector <em>a</em> is ...

  <em>a</em> = A -B = (-6, -9) -(2, 7) = (-6-2, -9-7) = (-8, -16)

The vectors are defined in counterclockwise order around the triangle, though that makes no difference to the calculation.

<u>dot product definition</u>

The definition of the dot product of vectors A and B is ...

  A·B = |A|×|B|×cos(θ) . . . . . where θ is the angle between the vectors

Solving for the angle, we find it to be ...

  \theta=\arccos\left(\dfrac{\vec{A}\cdot\vec{B}}{|\vec{A}|\,|\vec{B}|}\right)

__

<h3>computation</h3>

Because of the way the vectors in this solution are defined, the angle between any given pair of vectors will be an <em>exterior</em> angle of the triangle. In order to find the measure of the <em>interior</em> angle, we must reverse one of the vectors. That is, the dot product used in our computation will be the <em>opposite of the dot product</em> of the vectors we have found.

The spreadsheet shown in the first attachment does the necessary computations.

  • Each vector is the difference of successive points. (x1 -x2, y1 -y2)
  • Each dot product shown is the opposite of the dot product of successive vectors. -(x1x2 +y1y2)
  • The magnitude is computed in the usual way: the root of the sum of the squares of the components of the vector. √(x²+y²)
  • The cosine is the dot product of successive vectors, divided by each of the vector magnitudes.
  • The spreadsheet shows the angle in degrees, having converted it from the radian value produced by the ACOS function.

As a check, the spreadsheet shows the sum of the angle values. (The rounded values add up to 180.01°.)

The interior angles of the triangle are 23.20°, 71.57°, 85.24°.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Another way to find the interior angles from coordinates is to consider the slope of each side of the triangle as being the tangent of the angle it makes with the x-axis. The difference of these angles can be used to find the interior angles of the triangle. Less work is involved because there is no dot-product or magnitude computation.

How many different 7-digit number plates can be made if the first 2 digits are letters and the last 5 digits are numbers, for ex
saw5 [17]

Answer:

We can use seven letters and numbers.

I am assuming that any numeral in the range 0..9 or any letter from the English alphabet A..Z can appear in any position, with no blank spaces allowed and no restrictions on repetition. I am also assuming that plates with fewer than seven letters and numbers are not allowed.

So, for example A879BX8 is acceptable, so are 5555555 and ABCDEFG, but not A.123.ZX or…..7A, where the dot represents a space.

I am also assuming that you can only use upper case letters.

With these restrictions, there are 36 possibilities for each space and the total number of valid number plates would be 36^7 = 78,364,164,096, let's say about 78 billion.

It is estimated that there are about 1.3 billion cars, trucks and buses in the road today. This number plate system therefore allows more than enough unique license plates. I'd even hazard a guess that it might be more than enough for every road vehicle that has ever been built or ever will be.

In practice there would be other restrictions, for example only letters in some positions and only numbers in others. There'd still be plenty to go around.

= 1/2 (u+v)t
RoseWind [281]

The distance travelled by an object is 50 m.

<h3>What is Distance?</h3>

The distance between two points is the length of the path connecting them.

Here, given equation of distance

         S = 1/2 (u + v)t

Where s is the distance traveled by an object (in meters)

initial velocity u (in m/s)

final velocity v (in m/s).

t in seconds.

Now, given values are;

u = 8 m/s ;  v = 12 m/s ;   t = 5 sec.

    S = 1/2 (8 + 12)5

    S = 1/2 (20)5

    S = 100/2

    S = 50 m.

Thus, the distance travelled by an object is 50 m.

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-4,0) and (0,4)?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The slope is the change in Y over the change in X.

m = (0 - 3) / (0 - (-4)) = -3 / +4 = -0.75
