Solve the Problem (a,b)( a , b ) And (c,d)( c , d )

Question 147

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-Let (a,b) ( a , b ) and (c,d) ( c , d ) be two points in the first quadrant, and let θ\theta be the angle between the line segment connecting (a,b) ( a , b ) with the origin and the line segment connecting (c,d) ( c , d ) with the origin. It can be shown that
cosθ=ac+bd(a2+b2) (c2+d2) \cos \theta = \frac { a c + b d } { \sqrt { \left( a ^ { 2 } + b ^ { 2 } \right) \left( c ^ { 2 } + d ^ { 2 } \right) } }
Find θ\theta if a=7,b=5,c=2a = 7 , b = 5 , c = 2 , and d=8d = 8 . Give your answer in degrees rounded to the nearest hundredth.
