We can use this expression for the sum of two vectors: |A + B |2= |A|2 + |B|2 - 2 cos(a) |A| |B| 8.42 = 21.02+21.02 - 2 21.02 cos(a) = 21.02 (2(1-cos(a)) 70.56 = 882 (1-cos(a)) 1-cos(a) = 0.08 cos(a) = 0.92 a = 23 deg The angle between A and B equals to 23 degrees.
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
