To find the angle \( \angle POQ \) formed by the points \( P(0, 1, 2) \), \( Q(4, -2, 1) \), and \( O(0, 0, 0) \), we will use the concept of vectors and the cosine rule in 3D geometry. ### Step 1: Define the vectors We can define the vectors \( \vec{OP} \) and \( \vec{OQ} \) as follows: - \( \vec{OP} = P - O = (0 - 0, 1 - 0, 2 - 0) = (0, 1, 2) \) - \( \vec{OQ} = Q - O = (4 - 0, -2 - 0, 1 - 0) = (4, -2, 1) \) ### Step 2: Calculate the magnitudes of the vectors ...
