√(6^2+8^2+5^2) = √(36+64+25) = √125

i got that part so far
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I would draw a diagram and use trig to find the angles.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like a triangle?

Yeah, using the point you were given and then use trig (inverse tangent) to find the angles
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so x would arc tan of (5/8)
y = arc tan of (6/5)
z= arc tan of 6/8
??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
For x use x,y
For y use y,z
For z use x,z
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then 6/8,8/5,and 6/5?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry =( i just want to get this right =(
