Explanation / Answer

Solving 11)

Given,

A = (3, 1, 3) ; B = (4, 2, 5)

A = 3i + j + 3k ; B = 4i + 2j + 5k

a)Length of A will be:

A = sqrt (3^2 + 1^2 + 3^2) = 4.36

Hence, A = 4.36

B = sqrt (4^2 + 2^2 + 5^2) = 6.71

Hence, B = 6.71

We know that the angle between vectors is given by:

cos(theta) = A.B/A x B

cos(theta) = (3i + j + 3k).(4i + 2j + 5k)/4.36 x 6.71 = 29/4.36 x 6.71 = 0.99126

theta = cos^-1(0.991260) = 7.58 deg

Hence, theta = 7.35 deg
