Two lines have equations r_1=(1,-1,2)+a(-1,3,4) and r_2=(c,-4,0)+b(0,3,2). If the lines intersect find c:

If the lines intersect the position vectors r_1 and r_2 must be equal at the point of intersection, so: (1,-1,2)+a(-1,3,4)=(c,-4,0)+b(0,3,2) which gives three equations for the three components: 1-a=c, -1...

A triangle has sides A, B and C. The side BC has length 20cm, the angle ABC is 50 deg and angle BAC is 68 deg. a) Show that the length of AC is 16.5cm, correct to three significant figures. b) The midpoint of BC is M, hence find the length of AM

a) The answer to this question is quite simple, it is all dependent on the pupil realising that they need to use the sine rule. This rule for this triangle is: BC/sin(BAC) = AC/sin(ABC) Once they get this...
