The solution will be much easier if you represent the original matrices as the vectors, placing the second row after the first


    A = (2, 6, 1, -3),  B = (3, 2, 1, 0).


Now use the formula for the cosine of angle between the vectors in n-dimensional space 


    cos(A,B) = .



In your case, n= 4,  the scalar product (A*B) = 2*3 + 6*2 + 1*1 + (-3)*0 = 19,


the length of the vector  |A| =  = ;


the length of the vector  |B| =  = ;


    cos(A,B) =  = 0.718  (approximately).



Having the cosine, find the angle between the vectors as  arccos(0.718).


Use your calculator.
