Answer:

the angle between u=(8, -2) and v=(9,3) is 32.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

u=(8,-2)=(u1,u2)→u1=8, u2=-2

v=(9,3)=(v1,v2)→v1=9, v2=3

We can find the angle between two vectors using the formula of dot product:

u . v =║u║║v║cos α   (1)

And the dot product is:

u . v = u1 v1 + u2 v2

u . v = (8)(9)+(-2)(3)

u . v = 72-6

u . v = 66


║u║=√(u1²+u2²)

║u║=√((8)²+(-2)²)

║u║=√(64+4)

║u║=√(68)

║u║=√((4)(17))

║u║=√(4)√(17)

║u║=2√(17)


║v║=√(v1²+v2²)

║v║=√((9)²+(3)²)

║v║=√(81+9)

║v║=√(90)

║v║=√((9)(10))

║v║=√(9)√(10)

║v║=3√(10)


Replacing the known values in the formula of dot product (1):

u . v =║u║║v║cos α

66 = 2√(17) 3√(10) cos α

Multiplying:

66 = 6√((17)(10)) cos α

66 = 6√(170) cos α

Solving first for cos α: Dividing both sides of the equation by 6√(170):

\frac{66}{6\sqrt{170} }=\frac{6\sqrt{170}cos \alpha}{6\sqrt{170} }

\frac{66}{6\sqrt{170}}=cos\alpha

Simplifying: Dividing the numerator and denominator on the left side of the equation by 6:

(66/6)/(6√170/6)=cosα→11/√170=cosα→cosα=11/√170

cosα=11/13.03840481→cosα=0.84366149

\alpha=cos^{-1}0.84366149\\\alpha=32.47119205^{\°}\\ \alpha=32.5^{\°}

The ratio of the areas of two parallelograms is 4:9. The perimeter of the smaller parallelogram is 20 units. What is the perimet
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
With a ratio, you should think of it in terms of a pie of sorts. In this example, the pie has 13 pieces, 9 of which consist of the perimeter of the large parallelogram and 4 of which consist of the perimeter of the smaller parallelogram. If we know that those 4 pieces of pie and equal to 20 units, then we would divide 20 by 4 to find the value of a single piece. 20/4=5 so a single piece of pie has a value of 5 units. We would then multiply 9 by 5 to find the value equivalent of the 9 pieces of pie. 9(5)=45. Therefore, the perimeter of the larger parallelogram is 45.
