The cosine of the angle A of the triangle with vertices A(1,-1,2), B(6,11,2), C(1,2,6) is
Options
- A63 / 65
- B36 / 65
- C16 / 65
- D13 / 64
Correct answer
B. 36 / 65
Step-by-step solution
Direction ratios of aligned A B & =6-1,11+1,2-2 & =5,12,0 aligned Direction ratios of aligned A C & =1-1,2+1,6-2 & =0,3,4 aligned Now, aligned A & = a₁ a₂+b₁ b₂+c₁ c₂ a₁^2+b₁^2+c₁^2 a₂^2+b₂^2+c₂^2 A & = 5 0+12 3+0 4 25+144+0 0+9+16 & = 36 13 5 & = 36 65 aligned
