Answer:

49°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vectors:

a = [-8, 6]

B = [√7, 3]

θ = ?

To find the angle between the two vectors, we will be using the formula,

                                   a.B = |a||B|cosθ

For simplicity, it is good to first calculate the dot product, and the magnitudes. Then we will substitute the values of the dot product, and the magnitudes of the vectors to solve for the angle.

Calculating the dot product

         a.B = (-8, 6) . (√7, 3)

               = (-8 × √7) + (6 × 3)

               = -8√7 + 18

               = 18 - 8√7

               = 10√7

Calculating the magnitude the vectors

1. The magnitude of vector (-8, 6)    

                |a| = \sqrt{(-8)^{2} + 6^{2}}

                |a| = \sqrt{64 + 36}

                |a| = \sqrt{100}

                |a| = 10

2. The magnitude of vector (√7, 3)

                |B| = \sqrt{(\sqrt{7})^{2} + 3^{2}}

                |B| = \sqrt{7 + 9}

                |B| = \sqrt{16}

                |B| = 4

Calculating the angle between the vectors,

                cosθ = \frac{a.B}{|a||B|}

                cosθ = \frac{10\sqrt{7}}{10 * 4}

                cosθ = 0.6614

                θ = cos⁻¹0.6614

                θ = 48.59°

                θ = 49°

The base of a triangle is 3 more than 2 times of height. Determine the dimensions that give total area of 10 square feet.
Alona [7]

Answer:

height = 2.5 ft , base = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} bh ( b is the base and h the height )

height = h then base = 2h + 3 and A = 10 , then

\frac{1}{2} h(h + 3) = 10 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

h(h + 3) = 20 , that is

h² + 3h = 20 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

h² + 3h - 20 = 0 ← in standard form

(h + 4)(2h - 5) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for h

h + 4 = 0 ⇒ h = - 4

2h - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2h = 5 ⇒ h = 2.5

but h > 0 , then h = 2.5

and 2h + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8

that is height = 2.5 ft and base = 8 ft

Find the diameter of a circle whose circumference is 74cm
jenyasd209 [6]
  • <em>Answer:</em>

<em>≈ 24 cm</em>

  • <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Hi there !</em>

<em>c = 2πr  } => c = πd => d = c/π</em>

<em>2r = d</em>

<em>replace c ; π</em>

<em>π  =3.14</em>

<em>d = 74cm/3.14</em>

<em>= 23.5668</em>

<em>≈ 24 cm</em>

<em>Good luck !</em>

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The 1947 Presidential Succession Act. An Act to ensure that the President's duties are carried out in the event that the President and Vice President are both removed, resign, die, or become incapacitated.    If the vice presidency is vacant at the same time as the presidency, or if the vice president is also incapacitated, the powers and duties of the presidency pass to the speaker of the House of Representatives, president pro tempore of the Senate, and then Cabinet secretaries, in that order, depending on eligibility.
