Answer:

43.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Cosine rule,

From the diagram attached,

x² = y²+z²-2yxcos∅.................... Equation 1

where ∅ = ∠YXZ

Given: x = 8.7 m, y = 10.4 m, z = 12.4 m

Substitute these values  into equation 1

8.7² = 10.4²+12.4²-[2×10.4×12.4cos∅]

75.69 = (108.16+153.76)-(257.92cos∅)

75.69 = 261.92-257.92cos∅

collect like terms

257.92cos∅ = 261.92-75.69

257.92cos∅ = 186.23

Divide both sides by the coefficient of cos∅

cos∅ = 186.23/257.92

cos∅ = 0.722

Find the cos⁻¹ of both side.

∅ = cos⁻¹(0.7220)

∅ = 43.78°

∅ = 43.8°

Let $P$ and $Q$ be constants. The graphs of the lines $x + 5y = 7$ and $15x + Py = Q$ are perpendicular and intersect at the poi
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

<em>(-3, -129)</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two lines:

$x + 5y = 7$

$15x + Py = Q$

are perpendicular to each other and intersect at point (-8,3).

To find: (P, Q)

Solution:

The two lines intersect at (-8,3).

It means, the equation of line will be satisfied when we put value of x = -8 and y = 3

Putting in the second equation, we will get an equation in P and Q:

15\times (-8) + P \times 3 = Q\\\Rightarrow 3P = Q +120 ..... (1)

Given that two lines are perpendicular.

It means the product of their slopes will be equal to -1.

i.e. m_1\times m_2=-1

Slope of a line of the form ax+by+c=0 is given as:

m=-\dfrac{a}{b}

So, slopes of given lines are:

m_1=-\dfrac{1}{5}\\m_2=-\dfrac{15}{P}

Using the condition:

-\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{-15}{P}=-1\\\Rightarrow P = -3

Putting the value of P in equation (1):

\Rightarrow 3\times (-3) = Q +120 \\\Rightarrow Q = -9-120 = -129

So, answer is <em>(-3, -129)</em>
