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.

Wesley wants to have at least $50 to spend each day of his 7-day vacation. He plans to save $30 each month for 12 months. Which
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

i cant choose any that applies to this question because there is no picture added to it and there are no choices to choose from. If i were to solve it though, it would be; yes, he will save enough money for his vacation.

Step-by-step explanation:

I know he would have enough--and in this case more than enough, because since he's planning to save $30 for a whole year just for $50, when he could simply make $60--which is in fact more than needed for his goal-- in just 2 months. If he were to stick with his plan though, he'd make $360. I got that by multiplying 30 by 12.

Help me I need help please anyone
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

1st,4th,5th option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let evaluate each option.

A segment bisector is a line segment, ray, and/or line that bisects a line into two congruent parts. LM splits JK and KH into congruent parts. The first option is correct.

A perpendicular bisector is a line segment,ray and/or line that intersects a line segment,ray at a right angle. We don't have a perpendicular angle here and so that isn't a option.

M isn't a vertex of congruent angles as there is none in this figure.

The fourth and fifth option are correct. They both are on the segment bisector so they split the figure segments into two congruent parts. Since they are on the line segment and bisects it, they are considered the midpoint or middle point of the figure side.

romanna [79]

Answer:

d. 16,092

Step-by-step explanation:

Staples: 1452 x 9 = 13,068

Office Depot: 504 x 6 = 3,024

13,068 + 3,024 = 16,092
