8) Consider two vectors À and B where:
A = -6.00 ¢ + 3.00 ¡ + 3.00 k
B = 6.00 1 - 8.00 ¡ + 4.00 k
If we want to find the angle between these two vectors, we have two options: we can use the magnitude of the dot product, or the magnitude of the cross product.
À • B = AB cos(e)
A x BI = AB sin(e)
However, these approaches give conflicting answers for the value of e.
a) What is the correct value of theta?
b) Why does the other formula give the wrong answer?
