Answer:

Angle at vertex  A : 59.2° B: 61.7° C : 59.1°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First find the length of the vectors  

AB = B-A = (4-1, 3-0, 0-1) = (3, 3, -1)

AC = C-A = (1-1, 4-0, 3-1) = (0, 4, 2)

BC = C-B = (1-4, 4-3, 3-0) = (-3, 1, 3)

2. Find magnitude of the vectors

|AB| = √(3^2+3^2+〖(-1)〗^2 )=√19  

|AC| = √(0^2+4^2+2^2 )=2√5

|BC| = √(〖(-3)〗^2+1^2+3^2 )=√19

3. Find the angles between them

cos θ = (a.b)/(|a||b|) -----> θ = arc cos ((a.b)/(|a||b|))

AB, AC : θ =arc cos (AB.AC)/(|AB||AC|) = arc cos ( (3.0+3.4+ -1.2)/(√19  x 2√5)=  10/(2√95) ) =59.136, which is approximately 59.14°

AB, BC : θ =arc cos (AB.BC)/(|AB||BC|) = arc cos( (3.-3+3.1+ -1.3)/(√19  x √19)=  (-9)/19 ) = 118.27°

Because of the direction of BC is pointing relative to AB this is the angle outside the triangle, and we should find the supplementary angle.

180-118.27 = 61.73°

If we used –(BC) = CB in the formula (just negate the numerator) we would have gotten the correct angle on first try.

The 3rd angle should be what’s left after subtracting from 180°;

180-61.73-59.14 = 59.13 °

You can confirm using the formula again :

AC, BC : θ =arc cos (AC.BC)/(|AC||BC|) = arc cos( (0.-3+4.1+ 2.3)/(√19  x 2√5)=  10/(2√95) = 59.13°

Rounding everything up so they add up to 180 degrees we have Angle at vertex  A : 59.2° B: 61.7° C : 59.1°

Determine whether the three segment lengths will produce a triangle. Type yes or no in the space provided.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how to know if the lengths of the three segments

 can formed a triangle

- It is a fact that in any triangle the sum of the smallest two sides

 must be greater than the largest side

- Lets study some examples

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 6 , 7

∵ 5 and 6 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 6 = 11

∵ 11 > 7 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 6 , 7 can formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 7 , 12

∵ 5 and 7 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 7 = 12

∵ 12 = 12 ⇒ the sum equal the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 7 , 12 can not formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 10 , 12 , 24

∵ 10 and 12 are the smallest

∴ 10 + 12 = 22

∵ 22 < 24 ⇒ the sum less than the 3rd side

∴ 10 , 12 , 24 can not formed a triangle

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the three segments are 20 , 20 , 30

∵ 20 and 20 are the smallest

∴ 20 + 20 = 40

∵ 40 > 30 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle

What is 6 1/4 x 3 3/5
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Change mixed fraction to improper fraction. Then reduce to lowest term if possible.

6 1/4 x 3 3/5 = 25/4 * 18/5    = 25* 18 /4*5

                    = 5 * 18 / 4    {giving by 5th table}

                    = 5* 9 /2        { giving by 2nd tables}

                   = 45/2
