What is the angle between the vectors u 1 4 3 and v 2 5 1
What is the angle between the vectors u = (-1, 4, 3) and v = (2, 5, 1) 26.5 degree 37.3 degree 39.9 degree 41.2 degree 43.1 degree
Solution
u=<-1,4,3>
I u I= sqrt(-12+42+32)=sqrt26
v=<2,5,1>
I v I=sqrt(22+52+1)=sqrt30
u.v= -1*2 + 4*5+3*1= 21
u.v=I u I I v I cos theta
21= sqrt(780) cos theta
cos theta=21/sqrt780
theta= 41.2 degree
Correct option is d
