### Vector Analysis Problem

1. For the vectors shown in the figure, find:
   a) \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}\)
   b) \(\vec{B} \cdot \vec{C}\)
   c) \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{C}\)

   Use either method. Be careful about units and significant figures.

#### Diagram Explanation

The diagram presents a system of four vectors originating from a common point \(O\), located in the Cartesian coordinate system:

- \(\vec{A}\) has a magnitude of \(8.0 \, \text{m}\) and points downward aligned with the negative \(y\)-axis.
- \(\vec{B}\) has a magnitude of \(15.0 \, \text{m}\) and forms an angle of \(30.0^\circ\) with the positive \(y\)-axis.
- \(\vec{C}\) has a magnitude of \(12.0 \, \text{m}\) and creates a \(25.0^\circ\) angle with the negative \(x\)-axis.
- \(\vec{D}\) has a magnitude of \(10.0 \, \text{m}\) and makes an angle of \(53.0^\circ\) counterclockwise from the positive \(x\)-axis.

Please compute the dot products for each pair of vectors using the angles and magnitudes provided.
