Detailed Solution

Given points A = (1, 4, 2), B = (–2, 1, 2) C = (2, 3, –4)
 Dr's of AB=x2x1,y2y1,z2z1
=(21,14,22)=(3,3,0)
 Dr's of BC=x2x1,y2y1,z2z1
=(2+2,31,42)=(4,2,6)
 Dr's of CA=x2x1,y2y1,z2z1
=(12,43,2+4)=(1,1,6)
A is the angle between the lines AB¯ and CA¯
cosA=a1a2+b1b2+c1c2a12+b12+c12a22+b22+c22cosA=|(3)(1)+(3)(1)+0(6)|(3)2+(3)2+02(1)2+12+62=331838=0A=900
B is the angle between the lines AB¯ and BC¯
cosB=a1a2+b1b2+c1c2a12+b12+c12a22+b22+c22=|3(4)3(2)+0(6)|9+9+016+4+36=|126|1856=181856=1856=1856=928=327B=cos1327
C is the angle between the lines CA¯ and BC¯
cosC=a1a2+b1b2+c1c2a12+b12+c12a22+b22+c22=|1(4)+1(2)+6(6)|1+1+3616+4+36=383856=3856=3856cosC=1928C=cos11928
