Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram ABCD are given by and . The side AD is rotated by an acute angle in the plane of the parallelogram so that AD becomes . If makes a right angle with the side AB, then the cosine of the angle is given by
(A)
(B)Correct
(C)
(D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
, , . So the angle between AB and AD satisfies (θ is acute). AD is rotated in the plane of the
