Question 1179127: If sum of three vectors A, B and C is zero and Modulus of A is 3, modulus of B is 5 and modulus of C is 7. Find angle between vectors A and B? Answer by ikleyn(52915) (Show Source):
The given information about the vectors MEANS THAT three vectors lie in one plane
and form a TRIANGLE ABC in this plane.
Of this triangle, we are given the side lengths, and the problem asks to find the angle between the sides of the length 3 and 5,
while the opposite side is of 7 units long.
So, we write the Cosine Law formula
= 7
then simplify it and find the angle between the sides A and B
= = 49
9 + 25 - 49 = = -15
= = = 120° = . ANSWERANSWER. Under the given condition, the angle between the vectors A and B is 120°, or radians.
Solved, answered, explained and completed.
