Theme: Geometry in space
In space, referred to an orthonormal coordinate system $(\mathrm{O}; \vec{\imath}, \vec{\jmath}, \vec{k})$, we consider the points:
$$\mathrm{A}(2; 0; 3),\ \mathrm{B}(0; 2; 1),\ \mathrm{C}(-1; -1; 2)\ \text{and}\ \mathrm{D}(3; -3; -1).$$
\textbf{1. Calculation of an angle}
a. Calculate the coordinates of the vectors $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AC}}$ and deduce that the points $\mathrm{A}$, $\mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ are not collinear.\\
b. Calculate the lengths AB and AC.\\
c. Using the dot product $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AC}}$, determine the value of the cosine of the angle $\widehat{\mathrm{BAC}}$ then give an approximate value of the measure of the angle $\widehat{\mathrm{BAC}}$ to the nearest tenth of a degree.
