Answer:
A ≈ 65.4°
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the trig relations associated with pairs of sides. For angle A, given sides b and c are the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, respectively. The appropriate relation is ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
cos(A) = b/c
A = arccos(b/c) = arccos(2.5/6)
A ≈ 65.4°
Let's find the slope for line t first.
We can use the given points 2,6 and 10,1 to find the slope using the slope formula.
1 - 6 / 10 - 2
-5/8
The slope is -5/8.
Because we know the slope of this line, we can find the slope of the next line instantly, as they are perpendicular.
When a slope is perpendicular to another, it is equal to the negative reciprocal.
Negative reciprocal of -5/8 = 8/5
<h3>The slope of line u is 8/5</h3>
