Find the angle between vectors and show formula used u 2i
Find the angle between vectors and show formula used.
u = 2i - 3j
v = i - 2j
Solution
u = 2i - 3j
v = i - 2j
IuI = sqrt(13)
IvI = sqrt(5)
u.v = (2i - 3j).(i - 2j) = 2 + 6 = 8
Now u.v = IuI*IvI*cos(theta)
8 = sqrt(13)*sqrt(5)*cos(theta)
cos(theta) = 0.992
theta = 7.125 degree
