The components of vector A are Ax= 2 and Ay= -3 while that of another vector B are Bx=-3 and by= 2.22. What is the smallest angle between vectors A and B?

@hoslos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos theta=(A.B)/(|A|*|B|)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the nr is a dot product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u mean by A.B? is it A*B?? @incredebility

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.B means dot product multiply the corresponding x component and y components

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2*-3)+(-3*2.22)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the denominator is modulus... u know hw to take modulus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HAHA what is modulus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|A|=sqrt(2^2 + -3^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

problem is that the theta is not given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tht theta is cos^-1 of the RHS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u give me the whole solution? i cant understand it. maybe you have your own formulas and so am i..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@incredebility

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theta=cos^-1( (2*-3)+(-3*2.22) / sqrt(2^2 + -3^2) * sqrt(-3^2 + 2.22^2) )

@incredebility i didnt get the right answer :(
