The angle between two vectors u and v is given by;
`costheta = (u.v)/(|u||v|)`
u.v represent the vector dot product and |u| and |v| represents the magnitude of vectors.
We know that in unit vectors;
`ixxi = jxxj = 1` and `ixxj = jxxi = 0`
`u = 2i-j`
`v = 6i+4j`
`u.v = 2xx6-1xx4 = 8`
The magnitude of the vectors is given by;
`|u| = sqrt(2^2+(-1)^2) = sqrt5`
`|v|...
The angle between two vectors u and v is given by;
`costheta = (u.v)/(|u||v|)`
u.v represent the vector dot product and |u| and |v| represents the magnitude of vectors.
We know that in unit vectors;
`ixxi = jxxj = 1` and `ixxj = jxxi = 0`
`u = 2i-j`
`v = 6i+4j`
`u.v = 2xx6-1xx4 = 8`
The magnitude of the vectors is given by;
`|u| = sqrt(2^2+(-1)^2) = sqrt5`
`|v| = sqrt(6^2+4^2) = sqrt52`
`costheta = 8/(sqrt5xxsqrt52)`
`theta = cos^(-1)(8/sqrt260)`
`theta = 60.255 deg`
So the angle theta between two vectors is 60.255 deg
