4

Explanation

Solution

cosθ=a1a2+b1b2+c1c2a12+b12+c12a22+b22+c22\cos \theta = \frac { a _ { 1 } a _ { 2 } + b _ { 1 } b _ { 2 } + c _ { 1 } c _ { 2 } } { \sqrt { a _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } + b _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } + c _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } } \sqrt { a _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } + b _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } + c _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } } }

12=2a3+1012+22+12a2+32+52\frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } } = \frac { 2 a - 3 + 10 } { \sqrt { 1 ^ { 2 } + 2 ^ { 2 } + 1 ^ { 2 } } \sqrt { a ^ { 2 } + 3 ^ { 2 } + 5 ^ { 2 } } }

9(a2+34)=2[2a+7]2=2[4a2+28a+49]\Rightarrow 9 \left( a ^ { 2 } + 34 \right) = 2 [ 2 a + 7 ] ^ { 2 } = 2 \left[ 4 a ^ { 2 } + 28 a + 49 \right]

a256a+208=0a=4\Rightarrow a ^ { 2 } - 56 a + 208 = 0 \Rightarrow a = 4 .
