    This document contains three examples of calculating the angle φ between two vectors using the dot product and magnitudes of the vectors. In the first example, the dot product is -2, the magnitudes are 2 and 4, and the angle is calculated to be 165 degrees. In the second example, the dot product is 6, the magnitudes are 3 and 6, and the angle is 28 degrees. In the third example, the dot product is 0 and the angle is 90 degrees.

    1.52: For all of these pairs of vectors, the angle is found from combining Equations (1.18) and (1.

    21), to give the angle as


    A B = arccos AB = arccos Ax Bx + Ay B y AB .

    In the intermediate calculations given here, the significant figures in the dot products and in the magnitudes of the vectors are suppressed. a)
    A B = 2 , A = 2 4 , B = 1 , 0 3

    and so
    =165 .

    = arccos

    22 40 13

    b) c)

    A B =6 , A = 3 , B = 1 6 , 0 4 3

    60 = arccos = 28 . 34 136

    A B = 0, = 9 . 0
