Find the angle between the vectors A=i^-2j^-5k^ and B=2i^+j^-4k^
A = i - 2j - 5k
B = 2i + j - 4k
now, we know that
A.B = |A||B|Sinθ
or
( i - 2j - 5k).( 2i + j - 4k) = (12 + 22 + 52)1/2.(22 + 12 + 42)1/2 Sinθ
or
2 - 2 + 20 = 5.477 x 4.582 Sinθ
thus, the angle between the two vectors will be given as
Sinθ = 20 / 25.0956
or
θ = sin-1 (0.7969)
thus,
θ = 52.835o
