.

The dot product of these vectors is U*V = 7*0 + 2*(-4) = 0 - 8.


The length of the vector U is |U| =  = .


The length of the vector V is |V| =  =  = 4.


Then the cosine of the angle between the vectors U and V is 


 =  =  = . 


Hence,  = .


Please complete calculations on your own from this point.
