ABCD is a parallelogram with A(-1,3,2) B(2,3,-4) and D(0,1,5) Find its area and the obtuse angle between its diagonals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the value of point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not given C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but one thing that I know for sure is that it is not a parallelogram, it is a 3-D shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cant we find C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not very sure, I am not very good with geometry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1363473089726:dw| use distance formulae

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you find the obtuse angles between its diagonals? what does it mean by that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1363475160845:dw| M is where the diagonals intersect. thats the angle they are asking for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks! :) so how can I figure the angles out if no angles are given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use cosine rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, the diagonals bisect eachother

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the area, what do i do after I use the distance formula to find the sides
