Answer:
Around 24 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
*Make sure calculator is on degree mode*
Try to draw out triangle--it helps
Need to use law of sines... this is where an angle and the side that opposes it are equal to each other. For example, Angle U is equal to 9.7
Multiply 4 and sin90 and then divide the product by 9.7
Use on calculator to convert the answer into degrees
Explanation:
When the points are plotted on a graph, it is easy to see that the slope of AC is -2 and the slope of BC is 1/2. These slope values have a product of -1, so the corresponding line segments are perpendicular to each other.
___
If you have studied vectors, you can find the dot product of AC with BC:
AC = (-5, 3) -(-2, -3) = (-3, 6)
BC = (6, 1) -(-2, -3) = (8, 4)
The dot product is ...
(-3, 6)·(8, 4) = (-3)(8) + (6)(4) = -24+24 = 0
When the dot product of vectors is zero, they are perpendicular.
