Question : 9 of 29
Marks: +1, -0
Find the angle between the vectors a = i^j^+k^ and b = i^+j^k^
Solution:  
a = i^j^+k^
b = i^+j^k^
Now , a.b = |a||b|cosθ
Where θ is the angle between a and b ; also 0 ≤ θ ≤ π
i^j^+k^ , i^+j^k^ = (12+(1)2+12) (12+12+(1)2) cos θ
⇒ 1 - 1 - 1 = 3 cos θ
- 1 = 3 cos θ
cos θ = 13 ⇒ θ = cos1(13)
