Question 1173622: u = โˆ’10i โˆ’ 5j
v = โˆ’6i + 3j
Find the degree measure of the angle ๐œƒ between the vectors. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
๐œƒ = _____ยฐ

The dot product of two vectors is defined as
u·v = |u||v|cos(θ)

and the dot product also happens to be the sum of products of corresponding components:
u·v =
So we have all that is needed to solve for θ:

|u| = = =
|v| = = =
and
= =

Putting it all together:
=
=
cos(θ) =
θ = =
