Answer» `a_(1)=5, b_(1)=12, c_(1)=-13` `a_(2)=3, b_(2)=-4, c_(2)=5` Acute angle, `cos theta=|(a_(1)a_(2)+b_(1)b_(2)+c_(1)c_(2))/(sqrt(a_(1)^(2)+b_(1)^(2)+c_(1)^(2))sqrt(a_(2)^(2)+b_(2)^(2)+c_(2)^(2)))|` `rArr" "cos theta=|(15-48-65)/(sqrt(25+144+169)sqrt(9+16+25))|` `rArr" "cos theta=|(-98)/(13sqrt2xx5xxsqrt2)|` `rArr" "cos theta=|(-98)/(13xx5xx2)|` `rArr" "cos theta =|-(49)/(65)|` `rArr" "cos theta =(49)/(65)` `therefore" "theta=cos^(-1)((49)/(65))` |
