What is the angle between the position vectors a and b, where a = (6i - j + 3k) and b = (-4i + 2j + 10k)?

cos( AOB ) = a.b /(| a | x | b |) a.b = (6i - j + 3k) . (-4i + 2j + 10k) = (6 x -4) + (-1 x 2) + (3 x 10) = -24 + -2 + 30 = 4 (| a |)^2 = 6^2 + (-1)^2 + 3^2 = 36 + 1 + 9 = 46 -> | a | = 46^(1/2) (| b |)^2...
