Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If vector A = 5i + 5j and vector B = 5i - 5j, what is the angle between them?
  • Step 1: Identify the vectors A and B. A = 5i + 5j and B = 5i - 5j.
  • Step 2: Calculate the dot product of A and B. A · B = (5)(5) + (5)(-5) = 25 - 25 = 0.
  • Step 3: Calculate the magnitude of vector A. |A| = √(5^2 + 5^2) = √(25 + 25) = √50 = 5√2.
  • Step 4: Calculate the magnitude of vector B. |B| = √(5^2 + (-5)^2) = √(25 + 25) = √50 = 5√2.
  • Step 5: Use the formula for the cosine of the angle θ: cos(θ) = (A · B) / (|A||B).
  • Step 6: Substitute the values: cos(θ) = 0 / (5√2 * 5√2) = 0.
  • Step 7: Find the angle θ using the inverse cosine: θ = cos⁻¹(0) = 90 degrees.
